Chair of the Board of PG&E, Nora Mead Brownell: My plan, frankly, was we would emerge from bankruptcy having dealt with some of the internal issues more effectively, and probably the company would be sold in six months, which is certainly what the Governor wanted and said, and announced that Warren Buffett was a potential buyer. Warren Buffett said there are too many people who want too much. Too many constituencies demanding too much in California. I'm not interested in buying it. And so, I think it's just a reset, maybe, of how the Commission operates, as well as the political expectations.
