Many California residents will be paying more for electricity soon, with a nearly 9% rate hike taking effect. This is on top of a previous increase of 8-9% in January. The utility says it is just passing through the costs from those suppliers, with no markups, to its customers but that the bills could go up yet again in the near future. They are looking to raise $10.5 billion to bury 3,600 miles of power lines, which would represent a rate increase of about $30 a month.

THE LAST WORD

“We often hear the argument that we can’t switch to renewable energy sources because it’s too costly to build the new infrastructure. While building any new infrastructure is costly, did you know that if we were on 100% renewable energy, it would actually save $321 billion in energy costs each year?”
