Utility costs in California may be fixed based on income in the future. What do you think?
From California Globe. Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric filed a proposal on Thursday that would install a fixed-rate electric bill system for those under the three largest power companies in the state.

As part of AB 205, which was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in June of last year, the proposal would cover both the simplified electric bill system under the bill, as well as the fixed rates wanted due to the wild swings in utility prices that California experiences. With the power system expected to be volatile in the coming years due to the shift from fossil fuel-based energy to green energy, continuing questions over the extension of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, an expected increase of electrical usage due to exploding popularity of electric cars and the end of gas-powered car sales in 2035, and possible disruptions to the system due to natural disasters such as wildfires, many legislators pushed for a fixed-price system to stop the hiking of costs during high-demand times and to not overtly punish those having high AC usage during summer months. …
While the fixed-price proposal will not reduce costs for everyone, many lower and middle income households could expect to see overall electric costs go down anywhere from 10% to 20% should the plan pass, with maintenance charges being removed. …
A possible new fixed rate on electric bills
However, critics noted on Friday that the proposal has many holes in it, including not tying in many local electric and utility providers, who often have higher charges.
“This proposal leaves a lot of Californians out,” Ellen Wright, a utility contract consultant, told the Globe Friday. “… But even if you look past that, a fixed cost system could only encourage people to use more electricity, especially during high use times like the summer. That means an even greater strain on the grid.” …

This is such a good idea! Then everyone can use as much electricity as they want and not pay a penny more! Oh Father, deliver California from foolish notions!
Whoever controls the grid, as Californians are increasingly forced to depend solely on electric power, controls the State. This proposal removes an incentive to conserve energy. Although bills may be reduced, the grid is already insufficient for current needs and can be expected to fail more with increased use, leaving neighborhoods, communities and regions without power. Can you imagine the associated vulnerabilities?
Lord, I ask for your intervention on behalf of your people, plans and purposes for California. Once the Golden State and a land of opportunity, the enemy has transformed it to a wasteland of corruption and exploitation. I pray that you would continue bringing the turning that has already begun and deliver your people from wicked rulers.
Lord, I bind up the stronghold of ego, pride, and rebellion, that have a hold of Governor Newsom. Father I pray that you free this man from the stronghold of the enemy Lord. We praise you and thank you in advance Father God for the victory that will take place in the State of California! I also pray for revival to take place in that state Lord and start with Governor Newsom. Do all of these things that you may be glorified. In the mighty name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen.
