Yet Newsome keeps approving PG&E rate hikes for record shareholder profits. We need publicly held utilities and healthcare California should be leading the way but we’re stuck with this corrupt pro corporate neoliberal clown governor. He now has a podcast where he talks to Nazis.

With all the solar Cali should have co-op utilities. Have them run fiber too and we can have community ISPs.

He also approved NEM 3.0 which heavily discourages installing residential solar systems because residents were competing with electric companies, bringing their demand and prices down. PG&E WANTS you to use your electricity as muchbas possible so that they can have more money to continue building and continue raking in profits.

Yes, no fucking shit. This is known. Until something is done it'd be great not to be constantly reminded. This shit needs to be brought to action by our gov and elected officials, which won't happen with the current shit administration.
