Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom claims that “a big, beautiful bill” will soar on Sunday, seemingly ignoring the state's taxpayers flooded under some of the highest U.S. utility bills [emphasis, links added]
Newsom raised X and listed several of his grievances in the Republican settlement bill, including concerns that its passage would lead to higher electricity costs, as it would limit subsidies for green energy.
According to experts in multiple reports and energy departments, California’s energy prices are some of the highest energy prices in the United States.
“The cost of electricity could increase by 30%,” Newsom said of GOP Megabill. “This is one of the most destructive bills in U.S. history.”
According to the California Globe, Californians have 140% more electricity than other states.
The Golden State has set strict zero emissions targets, and Newsom calls for a 85% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.
California's push to green energy technology has made it produce solar and wind energy beyond its use, requiring the state to set up battery storage facilities and pay neighboring states to take up excess power in California.
It is worth noting that a serious reliance on wind and solar technology can weaken the grid, energy policy experts previously explained to the Daily Call News Foundation.
President Donald Trump slams the remaining “green tax credits” in the settlement plan and calls for the removal of all wind subsidies and “the rest of this garbage” on June 21.
The Republican-controlled Senate hit the green energy provisions several times in Saturday’s “a big and beautiful bill”, raising deadlines for wind and solar projects in an amendment to the original Senate phase-out plan imposed by critics.
Several power plants and refineries in California are closedIn recent years, NG may have been shut down as restrictive regulations prompted them to leave the state, exacerbating California's energy dilemma.
