Enron 2.0
Tina Kotek should do the same in Oregon. Natural Gas prices are out of control. >

I live in a huge old house because, oddly, it was what we could afford. Our utility bill was nearly a thousand dollars last month and it wasn't even that fucking cold. >

My bill in CA has gone from $100 to $200 to $400 a month in the last year or so. I don’t even run the heat that often and everything we own/use is updated energy efficient models of fridge and oven and range, etc. There’s zero reason it should have quadrupled for the same services being provided… >

On my PG&E bill this month, my charge for gas was almost triple the charge for the electricity, and the only thing I use gas for is my water heater. >

How DARE you take a hot shower! >

Also, I'm the only one who lives there so there's not even very much hot water being used. >

Honestly energy companies need more regulations maybe put a cap on their profit margins or something like that.
Because you don't need to investigate anything the reason is almost always the company fucking people over, which shouldn't be allowed for a company selling a necessity. >

Energy bills in CO have practically doubled in the past month for most people I’ve talked too, it’s insane. And then you see articles about the energy provider having record profits. Infuriating >

Californian.  December gas bill $70.  January bill $130.  Gas company projected our February bill to be $210. >

Oceanside CA. December $594. January $911. 
Not a typo. Insanity hardly describes this. Gargantuan greed. Grift taken to the next level. 
And no competition. The monopoly of SDGE. >

You got a pool or a indoor grow? >

SDGE charged $5 a therm. Our electricity is already the most expensive in the country on top of that. >

Even at $5/therm that's bonkers usage. >

To clarify those 2 months, we used heat a few hours a day (not anymore!). Gas stove not used daily. Dishwasher not used daily. I am not a shower freak - not a lot of hot water usage. Cold laundry water. The difference in therms between the 2 months was 3.
