Typical dumber-than-dirt dimmocrap thinking. Why bother to conserve energy if you are a high income person then? And why not burn your lights and gas day and night if you are low income?
Do the same for Auto registration.
Will the barons bow to their king?
Two observations:
1. If I were ‘well-to-do’ (owning a business), I’d have the house set up with solar/wind power, and attempt to limit my use of commercial power to 10-percent or less...of my needs. The power companies would soon realize that the normal use plan for the grid is screwed-up.
2. The middle-class (not in the well-to-do club) would soon realize that they are paying 150 to 250 percent of what was normal. It might take several years, but most would ask why stay, and plan a exit strategy. Home prices would start by 2030 to drop because there isn’t much interest in getting a home with extra electrical cost.
My guess is that they are so PO’s because this will hit all of them harder.
It’s amazing how democrats will oppose any plan that has a negative impact on quality of THEIR lives and finances.
Does that mean that people with no income get free electricity?
From each according to his ability. And to each according to his need.
Where have you heard that begore?
Tiered prices would do it better.
A low rate for a small amount of usage for a poor and/or super frugal home, a normal rate for a wide range in the middle of normal usage, a higher rate for high usage, and an exorbitant rate for the mansions that have the usage of apartment complexes, that would be the way for conservation purposes.
It wouldn’t be the best way for large, even huge immigrant households that are great at hiding income.
I’m noticing that many poverty programs are not geared toward non-immigrant Americans and the elderly but are focused on the lifestyles and households of foreigners.
This also essentially ensures Newsom will not be the post-Biden replacement, since there is no way this idea can be supported nationwide.
What a GOLD MINE for cryptocurrency!
Miners can hook all their servers to some poor dude’s house, and reimburse said poor dude for the $20 bucks a month or whatever is billed for the gigawatt hours at that meter.
Talk about an idea so dumb it could only be produced by an intellectual!
Communism.
So many woke social virtue signaling laws, regulations and policies implemented in California are “out-of-touch” and counter productive to a working society.
In my opinion California is a failed state. If you look at the funding of their public employee pensions, what the state is spending money on, how they are pushing the most hard working and creative workers and business owners out of the state, and finally, how they are pushing businesses out of the state, you have to acknowledge that the state will crash into a complete mess.
Vote with your feet, people!
Remind me not to move there.
needs to be ousted like cuomo
Socialism pure and simple.

This will just push the potential for brownouts and blackouts to become a sure reality. California will likely address the situation by banning home sun-based electricity generation systems.
Liberal Democrat morons paid the crocodile to eat them last. Guess what? You’re now on the menu.
