There’s a law in California that would base the electric bill of power customers on their income…rather than their usage.
It’s all part of the state’s plan to modernize its “creaky” electricity system.
The aim of the law, according to the Washington Post, is to “make higher-income people shoulder a greater burden when it comes to paying” for the modernization of the power grid.
Reportedly, usage will still be a factor in the billing, but there will be “fixed charges” based on income that can range from $18-to-$128.
Of course, there are many who aren’t thrilled with the law, pointing out the conflicting message of energy conservation, but you’ll still be charged more because of how much money you make.
