Won't someone please think of the poor power companies???!!! Folks, that's not how the market works, that's how capitalists work when they have an excuse. "oooh, some of my established customers aren't ordering power now, guess I'll slow down expansion because my customer base isn't growing as fast jack the price because you idiots will blame people with solar panels instead of me."

Wealth people own homes that are large. People that are not wealthy own small homes. There is a big difference in energy consumption between the two.

All I am saying is that it would be less polarizing if CA had chosen to use energy consumption rather than income because energy consumption and wealth is highly correlated.

There might have been less pushback. Also, basing it on energy consumption provides incentives to reduce consumption.
