The cost of unleaded gas in many parts of California has gone up to $4.00 a gallon. Fascist Democrats are trying to force people to buy very expensive electric vehicles—that cost more to recharge than a gas car—and takes over an hour to recharge up to 70%–the allowable maximum. The poor, the middle class, many minorities are being forced to use disease laden, crime magnet government buses and trains. Killing off well paying jobs in the coal, nuclear and oil industry harms the workers—why haven’t the unions fought back for their “members”?
“In 2020, some 9 million Californians were unable to pay their energy bills. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) reports that customers of the major investor-owned electric and gas utilities accumulated $1.15 billion in unpaid bills during the year.
As a “clean energy” climate leader, California seeks to achieve a carbon-free economy before 2050, ensuring that its electrical system can withstand extreme weather events and supply affordable energy to 40 million people.
Sadly, instead of solving the problem, two self proclaimed “conservative State Senators, Jim Nielsen and Shannon Grove have presented a bill that Bernie Sanders would love. The bill waives paying for water and energy for a year. Of course that does not fix the problem. Will they then present a bill next year to pay for another year of free water and energy? Of course nothing is free, decent people who pay their bills and taxes will pay even more for water and energy, along with taxes. This is how Democrats act—they do not fix a problem, they throw money at it. Someone need to talk with these two GOP Senators and explain economics to them.
