Erin Brockovich became a household name almost 20 years ago when Julia Roberts brought star power to her legal battle with Pacific Gas and Electric to the big screen. Since then, there's been no slowing down for Brockovich. She's slamming the Trump administration for rolling back dozens of environmental regulations, saying the administration is "playing with with everybody's lives." And she's still taking on old nemesis PG&E, calling them out for using faulty equipment that may have played a role in the recent California wildfires.
