California will soon become the first state to determine residents’ electricity fees based on their income as part of a new effort to spur households toward full electrification and bring down the state’s soaring electricity costs for low-income Californians.

Electricity bills are made up of fixed costs as well as fees that vary based on the amount of electricity residents use. Last year, the state passed a law giving the California public utilities commission a 1 July 2024 deadline to determine a fixed charge for household electric bills based on people’s income.

Residents might also guzzle up more electricity if it costs less to use.
I'll use as much as I can if they're hitting me based on my income...gonna get every kilowatt's worth I can.
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

The socialist paradise is just getting better day by day...

If you live there and produce anything you'll get bled dry. I certainly did while I lived there.

What's to stop everybody from using as much as they can?
