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.
And San Diego with SDGE is even higher. It’s time to take back control.
Are there any nonprofits working towards that? I’m seriously willing to drop some money to try to get them out of limit their power.
Some friends and I got several hundred signatures in contribution to a larger petition for the SD county to take over SDGE
I heard about that. Though I think first steps are to kneecap sdge’s profitability through other measures so that a takeover is actually reasonable.
