Editor,

PG&E is hearing from customers that energy bills are higher than normal. We understand increases are challenging. We’re taking action and helping customers.

I realize that PG&E is on the receiving end of these skyrocketing natural gas prices but that does not explain the reason. The Biden anti-energy policy reduced natural gas well exploitation and pipeline construction. That is the main reason why the prices went up. Let's go after the idiots who dreamed up this ill fated energy policy in the next election.

Both PG&E and commenter van Ulden mention energy purchases and energy use while really meaning fossil fuel use. The cost of alternative energy has been declining and will continue to decline as adoption of clean energy expands. The best way to get out of green house gas spewing energy dependence is with carbon fee and dividend legislation. The fee - charged at the source of carbon extraction - will accelerate clean energy development, and the dividend will go to individuals most impacted by rising costs. Moving away from fossil fuels has the added benefit of reducing the worst impacts of climate change - including catastrophic wildfires. Don't forget our increased PG&E bills are also helping this investor-owned utility cover legal costs associated with previous fires.
