How High is Your Utility Bill?

    Really, nobody knows in Northern California where Pacific Gas and Electric rules the roost. The utility has a stranglehold over the CPUC and its collaborators there who raise rates consistently based on ????????????????. And while we're at it: have you looked into the benefits realized after you installed a raft of solar panels? The benefits continue to sink while the costs continue to rise. Large corporate installers(you know who you are) continue to cloud benefits with mumbo jumbo, cloudy contracts and other devilishly contrived promises and programs. The State CPUC rolls right along with them by rubber stamping the demands of PG&E by reducing the amount of payments for an household's electricity production via the Very Expensive installed solar panels. Recall the touted benefits: reduce monthly bills, save, save, and save some more.

     And what do we have: some of the highest, if not the highest energy bills in the country and the world. Why is that? Governor Gavin Gruesom, chief architect of the assault on the middle class taxpayer, the few of us who still live in the former Golden State, now shadow state. In his zeal to appear progressive, as if this will propel him to new heights of political success, our man in Sacramento is presiding over the slow and steady decline of a once prosperous population now beholden to outrageous corporate greed across the landscape. There's no end in sight as the Super majority of dems in the legislature pursue strategic goals of limiting voter control over budget and spending plans rolling out of the Governor's off. Woe the taxpayers of California-you will be paying a lot more for the privilege of living with an ocean view.
