PG&E's most transparent fraud is by forcing people to move everything to electricity and then forcing them to use less electricity, and then complaining they aren't making enough money so that they raise electricity rates. Last year, PG&E raised rates 6 times. I'm now paying double the per kWh rates from only 4 years ago.

PG&E now wants to charge solar panel owners $100+/month just for the privilege of being connected to the grid. This is on top of their $0.41-54/kWh they already charge, the highest in the nation.

PG&E is a government-supported scam that is charging people whatever prices they want with no protection from our politicians because they are all on the take.

Can you say more about this? I don't live in California, so I'm not familiar with what you mean.

In my area, the government passed the law prohibiting replacement or installation of new gas appliances starting a year and a few months from now.

This is all the while cost of the alternative -- electric power -- goes up at least 10% YOY
