Rates are high because we’re paying for all the wildfires the electric utilities have started.

No rates are high excluding the wildfires which has a separate surcharge to finance.

But PGE having to provide power to wilderness areas in genera costs all PG&E customers to bear the cost and it’s a cost that Municipal power companies in CA don’t have and their rates an 1/2 or even more than PG&Es.
