Opinion: Fixed electricity fee is not ‘progressive’ — it’s a gift to the state’s utilities
Re “Ending regressive energy billing practices is a good idea” (April 14): Labeling this new “fixed fee” charge as either progressive or regressive is useless. The real deal is that this fixed charge is really just a nice annuity for the utility companies in California. Homeowners can be guaranteed that each year the utilities will return to Sacramento, hat in hand, to beg for the “fixed rates” to be raised. No more incentives to reduce the carbon footprint? Only the utility companies (SDG&E, PG&E, Edison, etc.) win, not any single-family consumer.
The real deal is that oil, gas and utility companies are not accountable to the public. The more real price of gas, oil and natural gas in California should be pegged to the prices charged to consumers in Texas. Even that charge is too much.
