YOOO PG&E WTF

[u/Prestigious-Hour6707]

800sq foot apartment. 2 people. Are. You. Kidding. Me.

Called PG&E to tell them they made a mistake. They said “hmm no it looks like the meter is working fine. Nothing we can do, that’s the price.”

No appliance change. No lifestyle changes. And even if we had, how the F*CKK could a 1bd apartment create a $630 bill?? Also yes, the previous bill. On me for not checking our auto payments. Just assumed they wouldn’t be more than $120….!? Dumb assumption on my part

I hate PG&E.

^I know it’s a hostile statement. But I think we can all agree an exception can be made for PG&E…

This industry really needs to be de-monopolized. They broke up Ma Bell a few decades ago. They should do the same for gas/electricity. Is that even possible?

Yes, the state could have taken it over a while back when they went bankrupt, but Newsom chickened out. He knew that PG&E’s infrastructure was horrible.

The line that failed causing the “Camp fire” (Paradise) a few years back was 100 years old! Newsom knew that PG&E was a mess, but didn’t want to lose their campaign funding.

So now, WE get to pay for all the 100 year old upgrades and PG&E profits from it.

Sorry if this is political, but NEWSOM IS PG&E!
