Connecticut and California really have some explaining to do regarding their electric rates. https://www.statista.com/statistics/630090/states-with-the-a...
PG&E (the dominant player in northern california):
- lobbied hard against muni power
- spent its safety budget on executive compensation
- is recouping its maintenance costs and criminal penalties from its ratepayers instead of from its shareholders
- got Newsom to stack the regulatory body (CPUC) with PG&E sycophants
- is back to paying its shareholders dividends
- has one of the most influential California politicians (Willie Brown) on their payroll
Yes, it's obscene that in a climate as mild as the Bay Area, $400+ utility bills are the norm. Short of some major revolt, rates are set to go up in March as well.
