"I am already talking to a few people who want to start some class action lawsuits. I'd be more than happy to join them in that," said Anthony Vogt, adding he wants "PG&E to be held accountable, it's almost like they know they have a stranglehold on us, so they don't really care what happens."

"The third major outage in two weeks." Meanwhile, temperatures are freezing, and customers are STILL footing the bill for PG&E's ineptitude. This has to change. Californians deserve better.

‘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?

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.
