[quote=Rt.66]That’s disgusting! When I send in my power bill I write SCAM on the check, useless I know, but it makes me feel better 🙂
Isn’t deregulation nice? On top of crazy high rates and non-sensical base lines, if you go to build in a rural area you get another nasty surprise. It used to be that in exchange for being able to have a monopoloy electric companies were required to bring power to pretty much anyone that wanted it, sans-charge. Thats why you see old ranches and such all alone way out in the boonies with miles of power poles to feed just one residence. Today to get power costs $8k-$16k per pole!

Now I can’t afford to buy a house
‘I just got my friggin water bill! HOLY $#!T There’s gonna be a lot of dead lawns around the IE if my bill is any indication. Last month $50, this month $260!!! I used the exact same amount of water as last year (give or take a cup or two). They must have my baseline amount set the same as a 500 s/f apartment.

You do have the option, if you really are disgusted with SDGE, simply to not subscribe to power and electricity. Find your own way to get electricity and gas..
San Diego has one of the highest utility costs in CA. This is a known fact. You could move up to L.A. where Edison charges a lot less, but then you will deal with the higher cost of homes up there. You can move to the east coast, but then you would need to deal with buying heating oil which is considerably expensive too.
