I missed a few and glad to read AZ electricity rates are not near the top.  We moved from IN and those rates were much higher. No wonder people are leaving CA with those rates after all those "green" initiatives.

Jul 29, 2023 10:08 AM
Carol Williams

Hi Leanne Smith 
Yeah, California electrical grid is already over capacity and they want to make EVERYONE drive an electric car? How are they going to recharge them?  Remember the days of gas rationing. Maybe they'll only be able to charge on odd or even days, based on the license plate number. 🧐

Jul 30, 2023 06:19 AM

We both know its about control and that is the bottom line at the end of the day.

Hi Kat Palmiotti 
Yes, Montana is very good in comparison. My part of Washington state is about 40% of what the state average is so we are VERY blessed here.
