The way I see it, at least now, it is like a bank made to hold toxic assets. Ring fences the liabilities (at least sort of) that come from the possibility of wildfires caused by their stuff. If it were taken over by the state of california, then the california tax payer would be on the hook 100 percent when fires break out.
