Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a huge wildfire insurance fund that would help prop up California's troubled utilities.

The proposed fund could be worth upwards of $21 billion, half of which would come from California's three major utilities and the other half funded by ratepayers via bonds.

Newsom will have his hands full balancing competing interests ranging from California's big utility companies to wildfire survivors trying to rebuild.
