Newsom is a scum: here is why

Newsom has been a biggest scum and phony politician. Here are few examples: 1. This dude shut down businesses while giving Hollywood a pass during Covid pandemic. Apparently actors making out on Hollywood sets do not spread Covid. 2. He took donations from CPUC which controls PG&E. The rates of el

Solar and batteries are probably the actual best products of Tesla.

You get the ROI immediately with enough sun. Especially since PG&E is such a dbag. Too bad the battery capacity is puny, I want an entire car capacity strapped on my wall. #solar

Silicon Valley clean energy - opt out?

I see in my pg&e bill that svce is the energy provider and I see there are third party charges for clean energy. Is it worth opting out of this service. Also is there any scam with default opt-in?

I currently live in Santa Clara, and Silicon Valley Power has been awesome so far (in comparison to PG&E). I''ve heard Palo Alto has their own power company as well. Anything else?

Collect taxes by hook or crook

Crawl space insulation

Has anyone got crawl space insulated in the recent past? Is it worth it? Did it improve energy efficiency as you’d expected (reduction in PG&E bill)? Edit: attic is insulated.

Solar

I have always been interested in solar panels. Anyone in the Bay Area get them at a cost that allows them to recover the cost in 7 years or less? Can you share a recommendation on company you went with? I assume a battery wasn’t part of the system or it would take more time to pay back. Do you pr

Energy companies are so corrupt

Californians will now see their base electricity cost jump from $10 to as much as $128/mo just to have power available before you pay for electricity usage. This legislation was passed and SDG&E is planning to roll this out which will be the same for PG&E. This is pure BS because the media markets
