electric bills for average residential customers in this PG&E area have increased five times in one year. The average residential bill has increased 56% in three years. This is after a state-backed replacement of senior management after the court losses. source: local news reporter Kevin Truong

Is the retail electric rate really almost $0.30? Here in Maryland, it’s half that, and charging my EV is like $0.11. At $0.30, having an EV wouldn’t be any cheaper than buying gas!
Eventually oil will run out and the only vehicles driving around will be electric. It’s not about cost, it’s about sustainability.

#13Real subheadline says: > The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours Does the study clarify? "Up to” could mean almost anything, and could be rewritten ”no more than"
I wonder what the study actually found.

#14My electric rates more than doubled. No doubt for different reasons, including previously shelved infrastructure improvements such as underground lines. For whatever reason, it hurts like hell.
Every year, it decreases.

Every year, I run the numbers to see how many years it will take for going completely off grid (to avoid paying for prior and current corruption at PG&E) to pay for itself. Every year, it decreases.

It was break even though, and the EV driving/re-fueling experiencing is much nicer for local travel, so it still makes sense to go with EV.

Oil will never run out. Civilization will collapse (due to CO2 emissions) before that happens, which will prevent extraction of the remaining (hard to get) oil.
