Using Electricity to Redistribute Income
22nd April 2023

One of the many problems with “green” energy is that it is ridiculously expensive. Millions of Americans, if they have to pay the cost of wind or solar energy to power their homes, will not be able to afford it, and will have to sell out. Liberals know this, despite their absurd propaganda about wind energy being “cheap.”
So what can they do? Follow the usual liberal playbook: make upper-income people pay the costs of their misguided policies:
California’s electric companies want to charge people based on their incomes rather than their electricity consumption in a bid to make utilities more “equitable.”
Most people think that when two people pay the same price for the same good or service, it is equitable. But not in today’s brave new world of Leftism.
