we have an overabundance of "green" energy here in California, yet energy prices are through the roof, we are looking at potential, rolling blackouts this summer, and we have to sell excess power to other states each month. why? well none of that green energy is connected to the public grid. with the wealth of energy, consumer prices should be zero. only that's not the goal of energy companies as they're all profit driven companies. meanwhile the CPUC is a corrupt as they come and haven't done anything to lighten the consumer's burden. that Clean PowerSF program? not voluntary in the sense you can opt out of it. you can choose how much more money you will be charged each month with that money going to produce clean energy. see the problem? they want us to pay for energy we can't even use and are hiding behind this clean energy program. as usual the consumer is getting hosed.
