Which is why we're getting out of California. Not only is electricity expensive, but also it's now being rationed.

Issue is not "green" subsidies or taxes...it's about monopolization by private companies and outdated policies from 20th century.

Power utilities are built for the 20th century. That’s why they’re flailing in the 21st.

Nope. Not buying that. Public utilities surrender their right to price gouge when they become monopolies. Prices are set by government agencies that allow a predetermined profit margin. The video is correct. Look at your bill. Taxes and fees (used to fund subsidies) are the drivers for inflation

CPT Jack Durish - Public utilities are slowing going away. "Investor owned" (private) companies are becoming the predominant utilities providing electricity. They keep charging more based on profit and aforementioned monopolies

A reported deal between PPL and Avangrid would create an East Coast energy giant with over 13 million customers. That could be bad for ratepayers, and the climate.

This is what happens from the from the Climate Change Policies that treat the intermittent energy sources of wind and sun as the solution that will cure their perceived illness. MHO These are special interest groups fighting for funding just like all other special interest groups, only they have much more cleave marketing.

Energy is cheap, unless you live in an area that taxes it heavily and has a general high cost of living.
