If you’ve noticed your electricity bill soaring, it’s not just you. Californians have seen their energy bills spike by 39% over the past six years — the most by far of any state, according to UC Berkeley’s Haas Energy Institute — thanks in part to the destructive wildfires that have torn through Los Angeles and other areas in recent years and policy choices that have shoved costs onto rate payers. “I represent a working-class district in Orange County, and constant utility rate increases mean incessant pressure for constituents to make ends meet,” Assemblymember Tri Ta, a member of the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee, told The Center Square.
