It is deeply disturbing to see the California CPUC choose to support profits for the investor-owned utilities PG&E, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric, rather than the future of California. The CPUC support for PG&E's plan will drive up the cost of rooftop solar to make it unavailable for middle and working class residents and force them to pay ever-increasing bills for dirty energy. 

Rooftop solar is the most efficient and quickest way to clean our skies and reduce our carbon footprint. The technology is mature, it provides good jobs for all those in the business of installing rooftop solar. And because it is decentralized, it reduces the need for very expensive transmission lines required by large centralized solar projects. 

Please do not sell us out to the oil corporations. We need you to serve the best interests of your constituents and protect our right to receive solar energy without interference from the big investor-owned utilities. 

PG&E's extremely poor record of maintenance, which has resulted in horrendous wildfires and numerous deaths, suggests that instead of doing their bidding, and serving their stockholders, the state should be encouraging responsible non-profit municipal energy provision in California.
