Looks like they have their hearts set on forcing everyone with means out of Cali.
Would this pricing method work for all products?
Unconstitutional.
Suddenly, everyone in California will be ‘poor’.........................
“$128 per month” would strongly incentivize going off the grid as the charge is likely to rise in the near future.
Would I have to report my income to the electric company, if I got a raise, under penalty of incarceration?
I don’t know..............🤷♂️
Hollywood should love it ,LOL
“The most severe monthly fees would occur for households with annual income above $180,000, which would pay $85 per month in SCE areas, $92 per month in PG&E areas, and $128 per month in SDG&E areas”
So these are fixed monthly fees and are not affected by usage?
This would set such a precedent, I can’t even imagine the total impact.
Now how is the utility supposed to know what you earn?
Means you must tell them or they have to have access to your tax returns.
Think about that

Perhaps all consumers could be compelled to install an app that would automatically impose a surcharge based upon the geographic location of the neighborhood where they live, their ethnicity, the content of their online postings, etc.
The revenues thus raised would then be used to finance, say, racial reparations.

So electricity providers would need to know how much money people make. What if more than more earner lived in a household?
“So these are fixed monthly fees and are not affected by usage?”
Sounds like it.
Our small HOA run water system has a monthly fee that goes to an infrastructure fund for possible future infrastructure replacements/repairs.

Hey Commifornia ... what’s your ratio of tax paying, hard working population to nonworking free loading population ... about .25 now?
This would set such a precedent, I can’t even imagine the total impact.
Guess which group will get Free Electricity
Apparently so.
