California already has tiered usage rates.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

California continues to drive away the producers and reward the parasites.

Traitornewsom repeats Karl Marx.

MOAR “Government” will be necessary to enforce the government laws. More lawyers, more judges, more law enforcement etc., etc. Government buildings are exempt.

Well you elected recalled and elected him again you fools ,LOL

Gruesom is your typical wealthy, elite out of touch white leftist. Nothing he proposes will ever affect him and his family because he’s much too wealthy to feel its impact, and he could care less about its negative effects on everyone else in CA!

Does that mean that people with no income get free electricity?

Of course, plus they receive a "tax refund" although they never pay taxes. Is this a great country or what!

What's left of it.

[Jeff Chandler]

This is perfect justice for morally superior Californians.

[Vaduz]

Based on Income” because of a phrase popularized by Karl Marx.

California always watering the socialism crop.

+++++++++++

The correct plan would then be to PAY folks with no income to use electricity /SSS

[fremont_steve]

I did just that. Then they keep changing the rules of the game. I am now going to retire and see a RX drip in income. I’ll beat them one way or another😀

When Louis XVI tried to make his bow, they made him call l’Etat General, eventually leading to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror.

Why bother to conserve energy if you are a high income person then?

Why bother regardless of income? The poor get it "free" regardless of what they do, the rich get hosed regardless of what they do.

Wrong headedness as usual.
Not even a good head fake.
Natural gas bills are the real killer.

[GOPJ]

I could support this concept/treatment for things like parking and speeding tickets - not for energy payments.

[TigersEye]

Sounds good to me. I don’t pay (income) taxes and I hate paying for electricity.
Free natural gas would be even better! :)
