Won’t this put a crimp in the reparations loot?
The wealthy and well-connected usually don’t have to worry about these added fees.
My last electric bill was $0.55 per kWh.
I don’t give a fu$k about their pain.
I fact in Hawaii not are EV’s impractical
they cost way more than a $60,000 diesel
4 WD truck to use daily.
The evil effects of the climate crisis scam are unending.
Sounds unConstitutional.
Bohica!
Gov. Newsh$t with a wide open border-then raises the prices of everything so only the millionaires and billionaires can live there. The rest of us then get stuck with the mass emigration. Pretty sneaky! What an ahole!
has to be unconstitutional...but then so was obamacare.
You know, Edmund Brown (Jerry Brown’s old man) was a liberal but he got things done. I mean CA was a paradise in the late 1950s/early 1960s. The best education system, water everywhere, people were flocking to it in droves.
“Regulators are hoping this utility billing policy will rescue their agenda to move everyone to electric cars”
Oh, yeah. Raising the cost of electricity is sure to motivate everyone into buying electric cars. Logic.
I hate to state the obvious, but this is a stupid agenda for a state that currently implements rolling blackouts because they can't generate enough electricity.
Utilities bill higher than usual? Telltale signs you’re being scammed out of internet, electricity and more
Joe says “they have the money.”
Is it legal to take a suburban house off-grid in California?
My wife and I are in our mid 80’s.
About a decade plus, we decide to stay where (Age in place), we live with good neighbors and in a great place.
We spent 20 K+, having our home retroed to handle the hot spells and cold spells. For example, it is now 95 degrees outside and inside without AC, we have a comfortable 75.
With the annual price increases, our monthly bill in spite of the above is averaging $350 to $450 per month. Our home is constantly in the most efficient 10% of similar size homes.
As an example, now, the outside temp is 92-95, and it is 75 in our family room and our living/eating area. The outside temp will drop to 72 by bedtime.
The California “green” agenda is itself a significant reason California electric ultiity rates are the 5th highest in the nation.
A few of the causes:
1. Electricity providerers are required by law in Callifornia to obtain X % of their electricity from more expensive “renewables” like wind and solar, though less expensive wholesale sharing on the grid is available.
2. Rooftop solar is an additional cost born by everyone who uses the grid. (A) Supplying the massive electricity to the grid has fixed costs no matter the number of customers who need the open lines at any time. So when fewer customers actually on the grid (like residential rooftop solar users) those fixed costs have to be born by the rest of the customers. Solar users go up, the grids fixed costs to everyone else goes up. (B) The grid suppliers are required by California law to buy any solar rooftop “excess output” (solar output greater than the rooftop solar location needs) , whether the grid needs it or not AND they must pay retail. If the grid actually needed that additional input they could get it cheaper wholesale on the open grid markets. So, in two different ways eveyone who uses the grid in California has had their costs go up due to solar.
Now, having created their electricity cost monster they are going to “solve” their own crisis by a government cost “redistribution” policy, again making electricity WRONGFULLY cheaper for some and increasing the costs, even more, for others. What could possibly go wrong. /sarc
Cali voted to pay more for EVERYTHING! who are we to stop them?

And, oddly, the Dems will never understand this dynamic.
Only in government could “lowering people’s bills” be defined as adding $24/month.
