Because California is the most populated state in the country and PG&E's service territory includes most counties in the state. A quantity of customers (who have no other choice in provider) does not equate to good or affordable service.

THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE. THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE. THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE. THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE. THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE. THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE. THE MORE THEY SPEND, THE MORE THEY MAKE.

We need the Public Utilities Commission to take a strong stand on behalf of the people of California and stop blank checks for utilities by limiting the use of memorandum and balance accounts.

Utilities like PG&E are spending too much money without clear oversight or accountability and California families are paying for it.

California is now home to the first major battery installation in the U.S. that can supply electricity for eight hours rather than four — a big step toward 24/7 clean energy: www.canarymedia.com/articles/lon... via @canarymedia.com

PG&E LOVES to tout that they have decreased residential electric rates 5 times since 2024. Little do they share is how many times they have INCREASED residential electric rates since 2024. I'll give you a hint... it's more than five.

PG&E and the other utilities live for the idea of fulfilling their shareholders' pockets. Ethics aside and morals to the wind, I guess. All they know is that the more money they spend, the more money they make.

LA Times article: PG&E is overcharging Californians to keep the last nuclear power plant open, report alleges www.latimes.com/environment/...

Absolutely DISGUSTING! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is this the kind of bullshit you're going to allow? For the taxpayers and consumers to be perpetually screwed over? Stop touting about how amazing California is when you let your sugar daddies bleed us dry. www.latimes.com/environment/...

What would happen if the utilities paid less attention to their shareholders and more attention to their customers and the homes they burn down?

fuck PG&E

ACTUAL customers report their bills continuing to increase. So, not only are you blatantly siding (and run by) PG&E, but you are also actively spreading misinformation as a "third party" to make people believe their rates are dropping. Nauseating. #StopPGE #Energy #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy

PG&E is ACTIVELY LYING to the Californian public about the decreasing of rates. Nevermind the small amount of change in decrease, THEY ARE STILL INCREASING RATES. A consumer, under the post screenshotted, named their bills to have gone up 17% in January. THIS. IS. RIDICULOUS. STOP PG&E #StopPGE

California batteries sustain near 24-hour solar run www.pv-magazine.com/2026/02/18/c...

Beautiful and hilarious. They touted a 5% decrease at the top of January but are already increasing again... Obvious bullshit from a mile away. I'm so over PG&E

Today I announced new legislation to allow San Francisco to break up with PG&E and form its own publicly owned utility. It's time for this monopoly the come to an end. We must value people over shareholders.

San Francisco lawmakers announce plan to 'break up' with PG&E

Breaking up with PG&E and reforming the PUC? Be still my heart: sfstandard.com/2026/02/23/s...

"uncertainty about how utilities should pay for wildfire-related work"... Maybe PG&E can dip into their $2.5 BILLION of PROFIT to pay some wildfire work. Utilities need to stop bitching and moaning about wildfire management while THEIR GEAR IS THE STUFF CAUSING THE FIRES.

STOP VETOING BILLS THAT SUPPORT RENEWABLES

Just more record breaking feats from PG&E. Over $118 million more in profit than 2024. How are the consumers supposed to feel when they get shit on and their provider just continues to make more money? #Energy #Utilities #RenewableEnergy #Renewables #PGE

What's the value of solar PV for carbon dioxide removal? See below ...

Newsom will never go after PG&E because PG&E is one of his biggest campaign donors. The amount of money they've invested into him has paid off because they've gotten away scot-free with many of their wrongdoings. It's embarrassing that we've put someone in office that won't even help us.

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/...
