Tiered pricing is such bullshit. I mean, if someone went to buy a hamburger and it was 5 bucks, and then if they bought another why would it be ten dollars? And if he bought a 3rd burger why should it be 15 dollars? lol.
I guess the point is to force people to use less electricity? I mean, demand isn't even an issue anymore. So much solar has gone up in the last decade that PG&E has stopped a bunch of plans to build new plants and infrastructure. And of course PG&E gets to rape people when their residential solar creates a surplus of energy. People are paid basically nothing if they create a surplus, so PGE takes their surplus and sells it to their neighbor for the highest rate in the nation. Brilliant! Pissed off customers watch their usage and some use electric heaters or other high energy devices to make sure their surplus is used so it can't be taken and sold. lmao.
This fucking state. I mean, being a tax payer here is the worst. They just take and take and take. And our politicians, I swear to god they spend 100X more time talking about how to help the homeless than how to help tax paying citizens. My local politicians changed all the laws regarding the homeless, and now they seem to be taking over and the police can't do shit. I took my daughter to a playground and a group of 8 or so homeless were drinking and using needle drugs at one of the picnic tables. And they had a scary looking dog just roaming around growling at people. We left after a few minutes.
Wow, I'm really ranting today.
