PGE serves Northern California. They keep raising rates like 10-15% each year to cover their losses after all the wildfires a couple years ago and because of the greed.

They’re charging for solar because PGE is a greedy fuck.

The article they share in the issue to explain why Christmas is so offensive is absolutely wild. To quote:

There’s a local llama subreddit with a lot of good information and 4chan’s /g/ board will usually have a good thread with a ton of helpful links in the first post.

Didn’t they also crash or overheat sometimes when charged from the left side? Apple hardware really is unrivaled.
