People who are still being lured into dependence on fossil fuel infrastructure are tomorrow's idiocracy voters. Because they are running into a cost trap. This must be prevented at all costs.
SoCalGas is using *efficiency funding* collected from ratepayers to push LA wildfire survivors who lost their homes to build back with *gas* rather than all-electric.
Truly bleak stuff. This should not be allowed. Where are our regulators at the CPUC?
