California's energy costs will soar as AB 32 takes full effect.

How green energy works.

Well for all the folks that think Tx is some kind of wild free market paradise - we have huge amounts of coal, more gasoline and natural gas than any other state, wind power makes up 10% of our power grid ( because there is a vast amount of empty space in central and west TX and plenty of steady wind)yet we are in the middle of cost for gasoline and electric rates...go figure.

Would be more informative if they used business (commercial and industrial) rates instead of an average of residential and business.

Bulk users used to pay lower rates, don’t know how it is done now in the various states.

California used to be pretty reasonable on energy costs; at least until the econazis and envirofreaks took over in Sacrademento. They closed all of the refineries and shut down all the exploration and pumping in this state; but it still wasn't enough, now they want to demolish all the dams in the state that generate hydro power. You know that clean renewable resource; because they might, not will, but might stop some fish from fornicating in some stream that didn't even exist before the dams were built. I am afraid that I am stuck here. I bought a small farm in the North State where people are a little more normal and just can't afford to give it up now. I keep hoping for the major disaster that will kill all the lemmings in the bay area, Sacto, and the LaLa basin; then we will have a state that is worth living in again.
