The head of the Resistance is there on the left. Pillory just may be the order of the day.

...thereby proving what many have said all along, that it's customers, not companies, that pay taxes.

California PUC (CPUC) is in on the action. Pretty much controlled by the DEMs. Here's an article from March 2017 just in Lake County that pretty much describes what goes on in California statewide:

http://www.record-bee.com/article/NQ/20170317/NEWS/170319846

Quotes: Local residential electricity users, already reeling from steep rate hikes in 2016, face a new round of rate increases from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), starting with their April bills.

Clearlake Park resident Ben Weiss has an all-electric house and said he watched his electric bill skyrocket from $220 in December 2016 to $402 this January, nearly double, with no increase in usage.

Granted, this is a specialized case of an all-electric house, but the impact on all PG&E customers has been substantial.

Thanks for the link.

If you live in the Northeast and have electric heating, your bills can be five to six hundred dollars in a cold winter month.

Three more years of this kind of winning is going to be awesome.

Pacific Power is owned by Warren Buffet. If they cuts rates it will be minimal.

You got ValJar, the angry redhead (HC=[6,10]) in the center in Jen Psaki. The rest, I don’t recognize. They’re all 0bamorrhoids.

PG&E will somehow use it as a reason to raise rates.

Please understand:taxes are a pass-through charged to the customer. Utilities aren’t doing the consumer any favors, they’re paying less taxes, so they’re collecting less taxes from their customers.

Generally, utility companies need approval for both increases and decreases in rates.

But despite fema, Florida utilities to charge customers up to $400 for restoring power after hurricane Irma.

Rather than fema distributing millions in fraudulent food loss claims in Florida, they could in one easy swipe, help cover the utility cost of restoring power, now couldn’t they ?
