Spent many decades in California...

Somehow 100% renewable but the most expensive electric I've ever paid for. How much does 2000kWh cost again?

Also, the most prone to fire-hazard because of above-ground electric. Remember when PG&E caused the most destructive wildfire in California history?

Weird rub-it-out article IMO most likely paid for by some PAC. With all the money pumped into California power projects, it never equaled lower power prices, reliability, or safety...

If you want to see a power grid truly without good pricing, reliability, or safety, look at Texas. Summer brings constant outages and market prices dozens of times higher than the norm. People were getting bills for thousands of dollars for a single family home in recent summers.

Hahahaha, okay. I'm in Texas now. I use a ridiculous amount of power to be honest mining in my single family home with A/C running all summer & heatpump during the winter. Care to explain? I've had more expensive bills in San Franciso, Alameda county just heating my home with way more temperate weather. I can provide actual data if you want. Outages? I've had more brown-outs & black-outs in California... the power system there is trash. I lived there for 30+ years LOL. I'de love to know the lore of your perception of the California power system... It's a monopoly. It's 3x more expensive. It's above-ground and caused the most damaging wildfire in California history. What am I missing? Have you lived there for so little-long?

That leaves me to my original question. How much 2000kWh cost in California again?

Don't know how much it costs in California but probably it should cost much more in Texas to disincentivise you from wasting electricity.

Texas produces more than twice the amount of energy than any other state. While Texas leads in energy consumption, the state also has the largest amount of surplus energy produced after consumption.
