I live in California and honestly one of the major reasons I will
never go electric in California is PG&E. They
will find a way to exploit electric cars to try to solve their self-created problems, and I
refuse to pay them for their incompetence especially after so many have died at their hands.
Let me be specific. They killed 84 people with their negligence in Paradise alone, but they keep raising rates while never seeming to have the money to fix their problems. Did you know that in just 2021 the PG&E CEO Patricia Poppe was paid $51.2 million — the year that fire killed 84 Californians she made 51.2 million bucks for doing such a good job.
They can take their electric future and shove it right where the sun doesn’t shine. They want to make that company the center of California’s future.
And they want to raise rates again this year a huge amount on every single customer. After rolling back solar incentives for rooftop.
I’m sorry, I hate PG&E. Especially when you have models like SMUD and Roseville power just chugging along delivering power inside the same system at less than half the price. There is no excuse left for PG&E to continue as it has. They need to be broken up and someone like SMUD should take over.
