No single entity is in charge of energy policy in California. This has led to a two-track approach that has created an ever-increasing glut of power and is proving costly for electricity users. Rates have risen faster here than in the rest of the U.S., and Californians now pay about 50% more than the national average.

What a scam!

And...how’s that working out for the taxpayers in CA?

Meh - a whole lot of them have, ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ as it is...

You can bet that AZ utilities did not share that largess with their customers, who probably paid full price on their bills. At least, that would be the way it would work in Texas.

They’re a bit more than double what they are here in Tennessee. PG&E residential rate just over 23 cents per KWH. There’s a special rate of 13 cents for “special” customers.

It’s around 11 cents here total. And there are places that are cheaper.

If not for the federal government, it would probably be about 8 or 9 cents here. If not for the California government, it would probably be a lot closer to ours in California too, and no special rate for deadbeats and illegals (or whatever those people are that get a special deal).

And here’s an article on recent blackouts because not enough electricity is being generated in CA to satisfy demand.

Guess maybe they should quit selling their excess solar. Ohhhh, riiiight!

Electrical rates are economically gang banging those in CA.

Hard to believe these corrupt AHs in Sacramento haven’t been drug out of their offices yet.

Yet CA utilities issue penalties for excess use. Bastards.

According to US DOE “More than one-fourth of California’s electricity supply comes from facilities outside the state” in 2016

You don’t “overload” power lines by not consuming the available power.

Lost power in So Cal at 1:00AM last night for 35 minutes. Cell Towers were up so I logged onto the Edison Website. Something like 30 outages and 3000 homes were down around So Cal.

Yes it is hot, but I expected better. More to come I suspect.

I find myself wondering how many billions of dollars the people of California were scammed out of to pay for “green energy”.

100% chance this LA Slimes article is BS. Noway CA gets enough electricity to power their socialist state without coal fired plants.
