I’m in PG&E territory, if I’m not mistaken we have the second highest rates in the nation behind the San Diego area. My daughter lives in Pensacola and her power is 1/4 the rate of mine ( 12 cents per kwt Vs 49/59 ) . That said, the $40K I spent on Solar with an extra $10K of fresh roof under the two arrays allows me to use my plasma TV, my tube stereo and run my pair of 3 ton units all I want. All I do is generate 15 megawatts per year. PG&E spent the last 40 plus years paying high dividends to shareholders instead of reinvesting in sound infrastructure. They killed people in San Ramone and Paradise. So now the customers are paying for that and the fluffy new woke advertising campaign they have telling us how they are investing in hardening the grid. I spent a lifetime watching the employees enjoy their cabins at Bass Lake. My employer never let me lease mountain property. I guess I’m just butt hurt because I can’t spend that much on a stereo system. Life is full of choices , Mike 😎
Happy listening in SoCal
Another reason we SoCal residents love our state.
Looks like all tube mega mono block guys might see a bump In the electricity bill?
