I’m unsure why they’re shocked: they keep voting for the conditions that mean skyrocketing energy bills
Californians shocked by electric bills after rate hike: ‘Like you’re getting punished’
Some California residents are “stunned” by the high cost of their latest electric and gas bill, after a major utility company raised prices for millions of customers last month.
“It’s almost like you’re getting punished,” 90-year-old Dorothy Lovell told The San Francisco Chronicle. The Santa Rosa resident’s utility bill was $696.64 in January.
“I really was not prepared,” longtime San Francisco resident Rebecca Gallegos told the paper after her bill increased by $162 from the month prior. “I’m blown away.”
Utility company Pacific Gas and Electric Co. “PG&E” announced in November that their customers would be paying about $35 more a month on their utility bills in 2024 after the California Public Utilities Commission approved the new rates. That adds up to over $400 extra a year.
Some Leftists might not think that’s a big deal, but, put this on top of everything else they’re paying more for, like food. Don’t forget, all those businesses paying more for energy will pass the costs on to consumers. A dollar more here, a couple dollars more there, and that adds up to a lot more money.
PG&E customers could see their bills skyrocket even more this year, as the utility commission considers approving additional proposals from PG&E to recover costs from last year’s storms. If approved, customers could see their bills go up an additional $14-15 a month, the report said.
Hooray, right, citizens of the People’s Republik Of California? Part of this is all the climate doom stuff you elect politicians to pass laws on. They make natural gas and other energy sources more expensive. I wonder how many voted for this thinking there would be no negative consequences in their own lives?
