In California, your power bill will depend on your income

<Sarcasm> Yes, please keep doing such things till everyone's income becomes effectively equal. </sarcasm>

So moving from a usage model to a flat fee per income bracket. Idea is to spread the cost to everyone.<p>&gt;low-income customers could be as low as $15, and no greater than $30; moderate-income customers would pay about $51; and the highest fixed charge, for customers in the top 25% of earners, would be about $92.<p>What about homes that have multiple people? The owner could be low income, 15 bux a month, but have a family using hundreds. Seems like lots of ways to abuse, and really low fees. Interesting idea, but the tiers are so cheap, doesnt seem like putting in solar is cost effective. The highest tier is still incredibly cheap.

This is a direct attack on the dollar. Now in California your money is worth less if you have more of it. Let this precedent slip and and the wealthy will simply leave the state. Well more than they already are

I dont see them suggesting this for gasoline purchases. Will high earners buy ICE cars again?

cool idea until someone puts all their income into a shell company to pay even less
