ISO Bay Areans who want to talk electricity bills for a story. Pls reach out if you are:

1) on CARE & struggling to pay your bills
2) make slightly too much for CARE but live in a hot place and need AC, resulting in v high bills
3) are on a standard plan with PG&E, don't have a CCA or solar

TIA!

How about this one: did you recently switch from a gas to an induction stove for health reasons? What has your experience been? I would love to hear your story. lklivans@kqed.org
