Residents in Northern California are facing significantly higher electricity bills, with costs per unit surpassing almost anywhere else in the country. The surge in PG&E bills has sparked widespread concern and anger among Californians, with individuals receiving bills as high as $1,400. The recent rate hike has prompted questions about the reasons behind the soaring costs and when they might increase again. Additionally, about 1.4 million customers in Arizona will also see their electricity bills rise following a regulator-approved rate hike. The situation is further complicated by California's energy policies, which are fully regulated by the government. These policies mandate the use of alternative energy, leading to taxpayers subsidizing the installation and excess energy production, often at a loss. This financial burden disproportionately affects poorer communities, highlighting that energy is 100% government regulated in California.
Households are being charged $1000 a year more than big businesses to use exactly the same amount of electricity 😳 DETAILS: https://t.co/QvmKauDdFc https://t.co/4BYo2I5ZWV

Energy is 100% government regulated in California. Government mandates alternative energy, taxpayers pay to install it, pay to subsidize it, then pay to sell excess back at a huge loss. All that is passed along to the poor - by California government. https://t.co/h4Ej7vQrHN
