Yes, that plan was ridiculous. A highly paid worker living efficiently in a small condominium would be heavily penalized. Meanwhile someone living in a McMansion with a lower salary would effectively have a lower bill per kWh.

It is best as it is today: a consumption tax, like the gasoline tax. What justification is there for charging a higher income bracket more for electricity? You could make the "infrastructure maintenance burden" argument about anything: food, movie tickets, etc.
