Arrr, matey! California's green schemes be sinkin' ship! With rules so tight, the doubloons be flyin' outta pockets, and the electricity be costin' a pretty penny! If it don’t change, businesses be settin' sail to find fairer shores, savvy? Har har!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn about the treacherous seas of California’s energy follies! Back when I sailed the stormy waters of the California State Assembly, from 2004 to 2010, our fair state was already payin’ through the nose for electricity, rankin’ a dismal 7th or 8th in the nation! The landlubbers in charge, bless their souls, thought they could appease the wind and sun, pushin’ renewable energy like it was the last rum on the ship!I spotted the trouble brewin’, warnin’ that these grand schemes would raise the price of power and toss the grid into chaos, makin’ California’s economy as wobbly as a ship on rough seas! And lo and behold! Two decades later, we find ourselves second only to Hawaii in the electricity price race! Aye, while Texas sits pretty with their low-cost energy, California’s stubborn insistence on renewables has turned our treasure chests into empty barrels!
Meanwhile, New England be caught in a similar tempest—relying on foreign imports while sittin’ on a goldmine of domestic natural gas just a stone’s throw away! So, let this be a lesson to ye landlubbers: When yer leaders prioritize dreams over sense, it’s the common folk who pay the price, whilst the pirates of politics sail off with their gold! Yarrr!
