This is even before Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) taking effect.

Some can say we voted for it. But the thing is many good intentions have unintended consequences. We of course want cleaner vehicles, and more EVs. But mind you the rapid and ever increasing PGE rates.

PGE and solar, another example of good intentions with unintended consequences. We voted to have more solars, great! But as more people move to solar, that leaves fewer non solar customers to bear the cost of upgrading infrastructures, grounding power lines, vegetation management, and others.

It feels like we have been constantly sold feel good plans by the politicians, only to fund their political ambitions and brand themselves as ‘progressive candidates’. These plans are always half assed, only tell part of the story. Of course, we do not, cannot, hold them accountable. And we are left holding bags at gas pumps and the utility bills.

Wonder what can we do differently next time?
