A ratepayer’s advocacy group, The Utility Reform Network of San Francisco, says the $600 million will go on electric bills that also might increase 30 percent in coming years to fund state-mandated greenhouse-gas-reduction programs.

“By cramming all these well-meaning proposals into electric bills, we may be creating more problems than we’re solving,” said TURN Executive Director Mark Toney. “With the economy in a downward spiral, higher rates mean more and more Californians will be unable to afford essentials like lighting, heating or cooling their homes, and cooking.”

When gubamint becomes a burden on the people instead of remaining a passive protector of all.. it is well nigh time to sharpen the pitchfork tines and prepare to roust the buffoons from their leatherback chairs.

Well, isn't that a good thing? All those things cause carbon emissions. Breathing, too. When they all either starve or freeze to death, won't the greenies be happy?

As soon as the poverts begin to whine about having to choose between power and food the government will set up a system to help pay the utility bills inflated by the government's "greening." This sh*t has no end, does it.
