There are so many things I didn't say in what I thought was already a high-density post, but please do notice the gloriousness of the term "community choice aggregation." You made a choice, but you didn't know about it, because we aggregated it for you. Chef's kiss for the perfection of this.

This is a toll booth model. He who controls the tollbooth, controls the future. Now ask yourself; how will the GCC narrative be used in order for those who hold power to meet those ends?

I'll say it again, It is for the elites to control all of the world's energy, thereby giving them the power to dictate whether you can bring life into this world. Seems straightforward and...potentially EVIL. I can't think of a more powerful form of control than to control "power.

But I'm a conspiRACIST.

In S.D. I caught that and opted out of the government approved automatic transfer to 'community power' because they couldn't tell me what the rates would be when I called. They could only tell me that the 'community power' was more GREEN. Yes, GREEN for them!

Another reason to leave California. There's no countervailing power, as everyone is in on the graft. So it will only not stop, but will get worse. Until it all collapses, then they'll blame on Trump. Or this guy Chris Bray, who criticized them, harshly!

As a former California resident who saw this coming a decade ago, the Golden State will soon achieve their dystopian "Game of Thrones" vision. The gated community-private security-insulated "elite" and the subsidized "poor". Anyone who doesn't fit those categories will leave or perish.

Sounds just like the Obama Care model to me -- and that didn't help either the consumers or the producers.

Unsurprising. Ultimately, Politics is a game which people play with one another right up until things go Kinetic... & to achieve this, one of the steps to get there involves economic pressures exerted by the ruling elite on the common folk. America is simply cycling toward 'Showtime!'

They're disgusting, and almost make me look forward to the burning times.

Where is the Consumer Finance Protection Board? Maybe NY can lend Letitia James and Arthur Engoron to CA.

It's socialist theft to further the corruption of the regulatory space by covertly expropriating funds from utility customers. It's likely illegal to steal from consumers based on levying additional 'fees'. This is the 10,000th reason why people are fleeing uber-Marxist insufferably corrupt California, the ass-end of the late great US of A.

Great catch, Chris. Thanks for sharing. California today, the rest of the USSA tomorrow. Now we know what to look for. When I read this post, I kept saying to myself, “WTF? How do they get away with this?” They get away with it becasue they have no ethics or morals, and because citizens don’t care enough to read the notices - too busy with bread and circus. We sleep while our nation crumbles.

so they're trying to "nudge/trick" people to choose "green" energy by making it the default. I hate those behavioral economists--if I could go back in time I would make sure they were flunked out of school at an early age....
