Fixed Electricity Charges Coming to California. How Much You'll Pay Depends on Your Income. - GV Wire - Explore. Explain. Expose
The PUC is mulling an array of proposals on income-based fixed charges for electricity from utilities and consumer advocates.
And what will happen? Electricity usage will skyrocket. After all, if you pay the bill, what motivation do you have to save any? Wouldn't you use as much as possible because it wouldn't cost any more? Leave the doors open with the a/c on? Hilarious
Same as when a landlord says they will cover the water bill.
That means it's open season for anyone and everyone to wash their clothes there, to have the kids play with the water hose and leave it running 24/7, never fix broken sprinklers, etc.
