After the Eaton Fire, SCE is charging some residents as much as $40,000 just to reconnect to the electric grid. There’s a better way. Why not let the community of Altadena cut the cord with SCE.

Which gubernatorial candidate will actually tackle the Monopoly Utility problem? Out of control spending that leads directly to higher profits for shareholders & higher electricity bills for working families.

Utility spending increased by more than 300% over the last 20 years even though electricity demand was flat. And very little of that spending was due to wildfires. Who let the utilities spend like drunken sailors? The CPUC. Time for real action, not empty promises.

During the year of the Eaton Fire, SCE “reported a better-than expected profit” – we don’t have to live like this, folks.

Last week, @pacificgaselectric.bsky.social reported a stunning $2.6B in 2025 profits (the more they spend, the more they earn). Yet PG&E's increased spending doesn’t seem to bring increased reliability. We have a broken system that needs fundamental change.

“PG&E has underinvested in safety,” South Bay Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said after looking at audit results. “This just confirms that we need to make PG&E a California customer-owned utility, not investor owned.” Enough is ENOUGH. It's time to Re-Volt.

 ‘Out of control.’ Fresno industries, residents divided over PG&E’s latest rate hike proposal
The California Public Utilities Commission’s hearings over proposed electricity rate hikes came to Fresno Friday afternoon, drawing a split crowd of Central Valley residents and industry groups that clashed over whether the increased rates are appropriate. The public hearing comes after the Pacific Gas & Electric Company submitted a request earlier this year to California’s regulatory commission for private utilities companies, asking commissioners to approve annual rate hikes over a four-year period from 2027 to 2030.

California’s top utility regulator is notorious for green-lighting bloated spending plans by PG&E and the state’s two other investor-owned utilities. Instead of acting as a needed check on utility spending, the CPUC approves the companies’ increased spending plans with little to no pushback.

It's really too bad California policymakers saw a PGE bankruptcy as a horrible catastrophe to avoid rather than an opportunity to clean house and nationalize it. When they asked to raise rates because of their huge wildfire lawsuit payouts regulators should have just said "no"

As it stands, ratepayers are on the hook for $9 billion in wildfire liabilities, on top of all the other ballooning costs and rate increases. While Edison will have to pony up their own $9 billion why should ratepayers be on the hook for Edison’s mistakes?

Who should foot the bill: ratepayers or shareholders? California regulators rubber-stamped SCE’s plan to hike electricity rates to fund wildfire mitigation, even as aging power lines continue to endanger communities.

San Diego families already pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country — and it’s no accident. @SDGE’s parent company, @Sempra, continues to post massive profits while customers are left choosing between bills and basic needs.

PG&E customers have seen a 64% increase in their bills since 2020. Recently, PG&E bragged that their customers can expect a $5 reduction in their monthly bills. But $5 is nothing compared to the $115/month increase we’ve seen in the last 5 years.
