CA electricity w PGE is more expensive than electricity in Guam
My friend lives in Guam. Their electric price is around 0.27 per kWh. I'm getting 0.46 - 0.50 per kWh with PGE.
How is it cheaper to send refined oil by tanker to a tiny island in the Pacific than it is to get electricity in a state with massive solar, wind installs and multiple refineries?
I'm guessing public ownership of the Guam utility is part of the answer.
PG&E is evil. I can't believe the state did absolutely nothing after they pretty much burnt half of butte county to a crisp, was a good opportunity for the state to take control of them.
Yeah, fortunately some of those counties have better options. Sacramento has SMUD, Stanislaus county has MID and TID, Merced county has M(erced)ID. Those are all way cheaper than PG&E, and those are just the ones I personally know of.
