Bad Idea To Ask. If PG&E asks the bankruptcy court to cancel PPAs for solar and wind generation and the court grants it, PG&E will have eliminated its ability to sign new contracts and increased the cost to consumers in one giant mistake.

That is exactly why they are busy doling out advertising dollars across the energy universe, because goodwill is always needed most right before you do something like this.
