Pacific Gas and Electric has filed for bankruptcy due to the vast mountain of lawsuits pending against the giant California utility.
The company cited the volume of lawsuits from fires in 2017 and 2018 in its decision to file for bankruptcy.
Lawsuits against PG&E will be shifted to bankruptcy court, The Washington Times reported.
"Does a judge turn a blind eye and let PG&E continue what you're doing, let you keep killing people?" District Judge William Alsup said, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Alsup said PG&E has violated its probation in a 2010 gas explosion, and said he believes its safety policies are linked to deadly Northern California wildfires.
Although state fire investigators have cleared PG&E of blame in one deadly fire, Alsup noted that in 17 others, PG&E equipment was linked to the blazes.
"There is one clear pattern here: PG&E is starting these fires. Global warming is not starting these fires."
