California ratepayers are fed up with rapidly increasing energy costs. Thanks to California’s monopoly utilities — Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric — electricity rates have gone up by as much as 110% in the last decade, and more than 50% just in the last three years. These increases come at a time when Californians are already paying more than double the national average for electricity and nearly triple what residents, farms and businesses pay in other western states. |
