California has the 5th highest rate per kWh[1]. (#2 excluding Alaske and Hawaii)

Just like our sales tax rates, income tax rates, our gas prices (due to taxes), sanitation costs, ad nauseum. We pay excruciatingly high rates for everything, and get mindbogglingly low returns for the money.

CA gov. and utilities are a textbook case in poor management and government out of control.

Where does the money go?
