California has the 5th highest rate per kWh[1]. (#2 excluding Alaske and Hawaii) Just like our sales tax rates, income tax rates, our gas prices (due to taxes)

Just like our sales tax rates, income tax rates, our gas prices (due to taxes), sanitation costs, ad nauseum. We pay excruciatingly high rates for everything, and get mindbogglingly low returns for the money.
CA gov. and utilities are a textbook case in poor management and government out of control.
Where does the money go?

- mxuribe 7y agoI'll caveat that I've never lived in California...But in New Jersey, we have the same sorts of expensive pain that you just described...but at least your weather is better, and you have a tad more elbow room. ;-)
- bontaq 7y ago...PG&E is a corporation. If anything, the CA gov should make it government owned and remove the profit motive.
- ethanpil 7y agoIt's barely a corporation. Just another monolithic utility with government mandated monopoly and no incentive to provide service or value.
