Got some info from a friend on the bill: 'In practice, nearly all the electricity is used directly by you. And if you add a battery, even that rare excess disappears into storage. Either way, the point is simple: no special meters, no utility gatekeeping, no hassle. Just clean power, on your terms.'

This is awesome. Hopefully it's in the bill that none of the energy produced by balcony panels will have to be fed back to the grid! #Solar #SolarPanel #SolarEnergy #Energy #California #CaliforniaEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy

Balcony solar bills introduced in California Hoping New York does something similar

In California, batteries are shifting midday solar into the evening, turning it into dispatchable all-day electricity. Together, solar and batteries are the clean flexibility duo reshaping California’s grid ☀️🤝🔋 https://loom.ly/g1n2Vn0

So strange considering how many rooftops don't have solar panels... #Solar #SolarEnergy #SolarRights #SolarPanels #California #Energy #CaliforniaEnergy #CaliforniaSolar #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy

This hidden fee under the guise of a "tip" is diabolical. PG&E is a dumpster fire of a company, and a low grade scammer at best. It is hilarious how they think they can continually fuck everyone over just to line their own pockets. Absolutely disgusting. #Energy #PG&E #PGE #Utility #Scam #Utilities

Touting energy successes while also spending your tenure in office to appease utility monopolies, defund (low income) solar programs, hinder progressive energy-consumer bills, and kill solar bills. Rich. #Solar #Energy #LowIncome #California #CaliforniaEnergy #SolarEnergy #CleanEnergy #Politics

PG&E is the most deluded, unrealistic, monopolistic, tyrannical, backstabbing, foolish, and dishonest utility provider in existence.

so ready for the next time PG&E fucks it

PG&E is a disgrace of a utility "provider". #Energy #California #Winter #PowerOutage #SanFrancisco #Solar #SolarEnergy #Conservation #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #Microgrids #Monopoly #Monopolies #Utilities www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/p...

The more money that utilities like PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E spend, the more they make. When they have bigger and more expensive infrastructure buildouts, they are able to charge customers more to 'recompensate'. The sad thing about this is that regulators at the @californiapuc.bsky.social ALLOW THIS!

#Energy in #California needs heavy reform. We need to pull away from big utilities like PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E and truly have the power (both figuratively and literally) in the hands of the PEOPLE. The amount of self-generation that this state has potential to make and do is UNCANNY, but we are...

Ironic since we still face so many barriers to entry with solar, storage, and microgrids. Legislators continually take hush money from utilities and energy monopolies to hinder renewables, and specifically solar. Lest we forget the more money (in any area) the utilities spend, the more they make?

The more money utilities like PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E spend, the more they make. It's that simple. It's that tragic. #California #Energy #CaliforniaEnergy #Solar #SolarEnergy #CleanEnergy #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #Microgrid #Microgrids #PowerPlant #PowerPlants #Power #Utilities #Utility

California has been selling said 'extra' energy to other states for quite some time now. CA faces so many barriers in the renewable side of things--especially rooftop or residential solar--so I'm hoping this new energy-trading market will show that California can KEEP some of its own energy! #Solar

Rep. David Valadao, a California Republican from a swing district who is a dairy farmer from the Central Valley, has teamed up with a Virginia Democrat to reintroduce legislation requiring USDA to favor small rural energy projects that cut greenhouse gas emissions....

He LOVES to talk a big game about our storage, but will shut down #Solar at ANY chance he gets because he is the utilities' puppy dog. They're his campaign daddies and he just does their bidding. Any threat to the utilities is a threat to Gavin. Shameful governor.

The idea of touting storage capability yet denying benefits for solar (and even promoting bills that would hand out negative effects to solar customers) because your monopolistic campaign donor daddy PG&E views #Solar as a threat is so fake, disgusting, and backward. #Energy #SolarEnergy #PGE

California’s top utility regulator is notorious for green-lighting bloated spending plans by PG&E and the state’s two other investor-owned utilities. Instead of acting as a needed check on utility spending, the CPUC approves the companies’ increased spending plans with little to no pushback.

 ‘Out of control.’ Fresno industries, residents divided over PG&E’s latest rate hike proposal The California Public Utilities Commission’s hearings over proposed electricity rate hikes came to Fresno Friday afternoon, drawing a split crowd of Central Valley residents and industry groups that…

Monopoly utility spending on the poles and wires that bring them guaranteed profits went up 300% over the past 20 years. Even though peak electricity demand was flat. Because of rooftop solar, the utilities could have REDUCED spending, and reduced rates for all of us.

Your advocacy for clean energy is a sham! How do you tout your excellence by signing a bunch of deals with countries and then turn your back on your home state by mitigating the positive effects of solar and other forms of clean energy? YOU. ARE. A. LIAR. #Solar #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Energy

With California inching toward the creation of an independent regional organization to oversee Western energy markets, here are 3 things it should learn from mistakes made in other regions, writes my @uclalawemmett.bsky.social colleague Elias Van Emmerick. legal-planet.org/2025/10/28/3...

Newsom's been in bed with the utilities for so long. PG&E is one of his top campaign donors. There's no way he would actually denounce utilities and put blame on them. We need people in office who will STATE THE OBVIOUS and hold the people at fault ACCOUNTABLE for their actions, inaction, and CRIMES

Except as far as I know he doesn't hate the homeless and trans people; and isn't in the pocket of PG&E.

Great news: California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Ratepayer Protection Act, which prevents for-profit utilities like PG&E and SoCalGas from forcing customers to pay for political lobbying and promotional ads. This will lower energy bills for Californians - a big win!

Yknow what doesn't explode and doesn't have to be run by the federal government? Solar Microgrids. The solutions are very obvious. People are just refusing to see them (or let them BE the solution). #Solar #SolarEnergy #Energy #Microgrids #Renewables #RenewableEnergy calmatters.org/environment/...

Isn't the US DOJ suing Edison? Y'know, Edison, the utility whose outdated transmission and distribution lines caused the fires? Y'know, Edison, the utility that you haven't blatantly called out for causing the fires in the first place? Y'know, Edison, the company that pays off your CPUC lackeys?

Refineries and poorly managed power #Grids cause devastation, both environmentally and/or economically. #Microgrids that utilize #Renewables don't seem to have these issues, and also tend to produce a lot more energy than needed! Food for thought.

. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov Are you going to choose to help Californians or continue to be the #Utilities' LAP DOG??? #AB1167 #Energy #Solar #SolarEnergy #CleanEnergy #Renewables #California #Bills #Rates #Legislation #Governors

So odd how you continually dog #Trump for his support of #Coal, but you won't denounce the #Utilities in #California even though they are also against #SolarEnergy. Trump's fight against #Solar is one thing, but it is hypocritical of you to call him out when you fail to TRULY support solar!

In layman's terms, it's Edison's fault. (FYI, Edison was recently allowed to raise rates by 9% by the @californiapuc.bsky.social) www.npr.org/2025/10/02/n...

"Energy Fact Check" Account going after organizations that care more about people and the environment over a paycheck... PG&E spent $3.6 million on state lobbying in 2024 alone. If we're going to call out lobbying, "factually", why don't you call out those who spend more to screw people over?

Renewables have been on a slow rise to power. Although their lifespan has been shorter than that of coal and other forms of non-green energy, renewables have PROVEN themselves and are surely taking over outdated forms of energy. #Solar #SolarEnergy #Energy cleantechnica.com/2025/08/18/i...

🚨We call it a Utility Tax, they call it a “Base Services Charge” or a “Fixed Fee.” No matter what the hell you call it, it’s going to raise bills on 4 million families in California. 🔗Learn more at the link in bio.

The decision on NEM 3.0 by @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's lackeys over at the @californiapuc.bsky.social was DISGRACEFUL and CORRUPT. I am so happy to hear that #California #SupremeCourt has ordered the lower court to revisit the CPUC's misguidance. #Solar www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2025/08/cali...

It's no surprise that Newsom has been in cahoots with the utilities in an attempt to rid California of rooftop solar, but it's interesting to see a deep-dive into what he's done and how it's been done in order to stave off solar and other renewables in CA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

☀️There are 2 million solar roofs in California. Together, they produce 4 Diablo Canyon nuclear power plants AND 5 Hoover Dams of energy...combined. And we’ve still barely scratched the surface of our rooftop solar potential. Share with three friends! youtube.com/shorts/PMoSG...

California Hits 'Historic' Energy Milestone "California's success in its clean energy policies is largely down to 'the growth in batteries, solar, and wind in the state combined with the decrease in gas'" www.newsweek.com/california-h... @newsweek.com

Great news! California hits a record of 67% zero carbon energy on the road to 100% mandated by law in 2045! "In historic first, California powered by two-thirds clean energy – becoming largest economy in the world to achieve milestone | Governor of California" share.google/vVQgYEsNeITy...

Two-thirds of California’s power now comes from clean energy, making us the largest economy in the world to hit this milestone. With record growth in solar, wind, and storage, plus half a million clean energy jobs, we’re proving a clean future is possible. www.newsweek.com/california-h...

We may have won the battle with AB942's loss, but there's still a war to fight. Our current utility model, upheld by the Utilities' ideal of a corporatocracy, is tyrannical and corrupt. Fighting bills like AB942 in the legislature are step one, but to win. We need true reform of the system!

AB942 was effectively defeated in the California Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee yesterday! #AB942 would have broken over 2 million #Solar contracts in the state of California, and was watered down in committee yesterday to not include rooftop solar customers! 🧵for thanks...

Even though #Solar is fighting daily battles in #California against the #Utilities and utility-sided LEGISLATORS, it has continued to prove itself time and time again. Bills like #AB942 plan to uproot the solar #Industry by directly affecting those who use #SolarEnergy. THREAD 🧵

🤯 Wait a second, let me get this straight...the utilities are doing WHAT?! 😡 Join us on Solar Freedom, the podcast where we help you defend the freedom and independence of rooftop solar. In this episode, we speak with former CA energy regulator, Loretta Lynch. youtube.com/shorts/0Sc3Z...

. @jessearreguin.bsky.social @senatorashby.bsky.social @senatorgonzalez.bsky.social @senmcnerney.bsky.social I urge all of your to vote AGAINST AB942 in any upcoming hearings in the EU&C Policy Committee. This bill will break over 2M solar contracts in CA in favor of greedy utilities. NO on AB942!!!

In CA, Newsom drafted ratepayers against their will to cover IOU ROE granted by the CPUC, so ratepayers buoy the stock $ for IOU shareholders. But ratepayers see no upside of gains. We're paying for IOUs' institutional shareholders to make bank in utility stocks insideclimatenews.org/news/1506202...

*boat horn* THIS IS BULLSHIT. THE SO-CALLED "COST-SHIFT" HAS BEEN DEBUNKED FOR AWHILE NOW. This @caenergyfacts.bsky.social account is obviously run by a Lisa Calderon staffer who wants to promote the notion that AB 942 will do more good than bad. LMAO!

This is great, now if we can stop AB-942 Net energy metering bill from passing the future of consumer rooftop solar will be much brighter. (no pun intended)

☀️ Rooftop solar saved all California ratepayers $1.5 billion in 2024 alone. Now, #AB942 threatens rooftop solar in California. 📣 Urge lawmakers to protect rooftop solar and make electricity more affordable by opposing AB 942. Take action here: https://loom.ly/reNFH8I
