Also say people are using too much electric, then when it gets rationed, complain about that too.
Before he left office, and in the aftermath of the tragic fires in California last October, Governor Moonbeam signed SB 901 that would allow the utility companies to pass on their liability costs to their customers and to help pay for state forest management maintenance. Obviously a political favor to a utility company that is a donor and screwing over the taxpayers by making them pay for the maintenance of the state’s forests. Just the typical way Democrats do business!
There is a recall petition going according to earlier reports. Maybe the people are waking up.
Probably a lot sooner, now that you gave them the idea.
;)
I actually read that he was doing quite well at the time of his passing and had servants and the dying broke thing is a myth.
Maybe they rooked him but even the crumbs afforded a nice life
And he got to see some of the world :)
“How long before the state takes over the utility and sets rates based upon income?”
In a sense they already do. They have rate schedules that increase the rate by usage. There is an adjustment for region but it is not enough. The result is that there is a net transfer of wealth from the inland areas (more conservative) to the coastal areas.
There also is a low income rate.
When I lived there, because I had a pool and a large house, in the summer I was always in the 40c / kWh range.
PGE does what they do because of the cal PUC. This is a perfect example of direct democracy run amuck. I quit caring right when I left.
According to Cali only about 10% of the fires are electrical. With all of this it is a 10% solution. The 90% will come from global warming taxes or other such BS, stupidity run amuck. To understand Cali study Venezuela when their grid when out or study Atlas Shrugged. It is all the same.
I am betwixt and between on this. If he is recalled the odds are his replacement will be as bad. If he is not recalled then he can continue to make a farce of the dims in Kaliforincate.
I have a similar feeling about the impeacement. Bring it on. That might stop all the constant garbage on tv after it is over. And there is no way in hell it will suceed, just make the dims look more stupid.
Does that include the old man who dies when his oxygen supply cut off due to no electric?
what a pathetic and worthless gesture by Newsom.
first off, the utility corporations have one of the most powerful lobbying operations in Sacramento (with reportedly the majority of the legislature and every governor in recent decades on the take.. bought, sold, and paid for...excepting for “necessary political gestures” like this silliness from Newsom)
second, Newsom’s utility “regulators” (who have a long-standing reputation that stinks to High Heaven with corruption graft free resorts and international air tickets and and kickbacks) could have easily told PGE to delay or cancel their huge shutdown.....but there was nary a peep out of any of them, including Newsom
... want to know why? (follow the $$$$$$, my granny taught us)
Newsom has to do a whole lot better if he is to avoid the new recall effort succeeding.
(he’s signed grossly unconstitutional ‘laws’ and is now trying to steal the last $5 billion of taxes designated for highway repair.....for other programs instead. And the roads (and water supply systems and infrastructure in general) continue to deteriorate....)
and typhoid is coming to California due to all of Calif’s enabling, inviting, paying every destitute sick poor soul to migrate to California and take free drugs and krap on the sidewalks
He was totally SCREWED by the royals in Spain.
Oh they gave him tidbits, but then took it all away.
Considering all of the wealth his discovery brought Spain, they could have let him have much less than his legal claim and left him a very rich man. You’ve got to be careful when making a deal with a king or queen.
I’m surprised Newsome hasn’t been dragged out of there.
Wait....I’m not surprised at all!
LOL! I hope they do it and charge every customer $110 on their next bill with “Care of Newsome” for the charge.
Geesh….that’s ONLY because he’s ITALIAN!!
There was a great history of mental instability and insanity in the Spanish court.
OOOPS.
PG&E’s response will be delayed a few days. It’s hard to type while you’re laughing hysterically.
“How about $1K per person to start with?””
We will just have to charge each and every customer $1,000.00 plus a ten percent service fee to pay for it.
