⚡ Stop the Soaring Energy Costs: Hold PG&E Accountable and Protect California’s Energy Future

Summary (visible before expanding):
Californians pay four times more for electricity than the next most expensive state. With little oversight, PG&E continues raising rates while undermining solar access and forcing costly battery mandates. Sign now to demand fair rates, independent audits, and a return to clean, affordable energy for all.

 
Petition Body:

For far too long, Sacramento has allowed PG&E to increase electricity rates without real accountability. These hikes are happening without independent, out-of-state audits or financial reviews—while PG&E continues collecting billions in revenue. As a result, Californians now pay more than twice the national average per kilowatt-hour...and the rates keep rising. This is an unsustainable burden on working families and small businesses alike.

In an era when affordable and sustainable energy should be a given, California households are being crushed by rising utility costs. This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s unjust.

Key Problems:

PG&E continues to raise rates unchecked.
No independent audits are being conducted to ensure transparency.
Rooftop solar policies are being dismantled (NEM1 rollback), reducing access to clean energy.
New mandates force homeowners to buy expensive battery systems, with no clear return on investment.
These policies are not only unfair—they’re shortsighted. They penalize residents who are trying to adopt green solutions and make energy bills unaffordable for everyone else. The end result? Less solar, higher bills, and more profit for PG&E.

We demand:
✅ A full, independent audit of PG&E’s finances by out-of-state experts.
✅ A legal cap on electricity rates to prevent price gouging.
✅ Restoration of fair solar policies—without forcing residents into expensive, unnecessary battery systems.

California must lead the way on clean, affordable energy—but that won’t happen if we let corporate interests go unchecked.

Join us in calling for oversight, transparency, and a utility system that puts people before profits.
