Get ready for a SoCalGas bill this month, as natural gas prices soar
- gedy 4y agoAlso used to generate electricity. I'm sad they shutdown the San Onofre nuclear power plant (and that many people celebrated its shutdown)
- jhart99 4y agoSan Onofre was shutdown because it was not economical to repair after botched generator upgrades were made. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Onofre_Nuclear_Generating_Station https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Onofre_Nuclear_Generatin.... It is BS that customers have to pay for it's decommissioning when it was essentially wrecked by SCE.
- givemeethekeys 4y agoNatural gas prices are at their historic lows. Southern California energy companies are charging for “delivery fees“.
- moistly 4y agoNatural gas prices are not soaring, they are crashing: down >50% since mid December. WTH, LA Times?
- Rebelgecko 4y agoThey're using the self-reported prices. However if you have proof that SoCal Gas is cooking the books, you could probably make some money whistle-blowing to the SEC
- Kim_Bruning 4y agoHuh, interesting. Even down in Europe, though still high relative to early 2021.
- 1MachineElf 4y agoPerhaps this nationwide price increase explains what's happened to my gas/electric bill here in Maryland. $260 for November, $420 for December, and now $570 for January.
- specto 4y agoYeah. Same in Colorado. And of course Xcel energy just posted record profits.
