In a move that has left many hard-working Californians scratching their heads, the Democrat-controlled state legislature has taken their love for taxing residents to a whole new level. Now, in addition to the ever-increasing gas prices and housing costs, Californians will soon be hit with electricity bills based on their income, regardless of how much energy they actually use.
This latest brainchild from the California lawmakers has left many wondering if they have any grasp on reality at all. Instead of focusing on providing reliable and affordable energy for its residents, the state is doubling down on their green energy agenda, leaving families to foot the bill for their costly experiments.

According to Shon Hiatt from the University of Southern California, the problem lies in the affordability of energy in the state. By implementing this income-based billing system, the legislature is essentially punishing families for simply trying to make ends meet. It’s as if they believe that making over $100,000 automatically makes someone wealthy, without considering the financial responsibilities many families face.
While renewable energy is touted as the way of the future, the reality is that it’s not always the most cost-effective option. With the intermittent nature of renewables, traditional sources like natural gas and coal are still necessary for providing consistent power. Yet, California lawmakers seem oblivious to these facts, pushing their unrealistic green energy agenda at the expense of hard-working taxpayers.
If this bill becomes law, California will be the first state in the nation to charge electricity based on income. This move sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of the country, showing that out-of-touch politicians are willing to burden their constituents with higher costs in the name of environmentalism.
It’s no wonder that California is experiencing a mass exodus of residents fleeing the state’s oppressive policies. With record deficits and skyrocketing utility bills, it’s clear that the Democrat leadership in California is driving the state into the ground. Let this be a warning to the rest of the nation – these reckless policies could be coming to a state near you if we’re not careful.
