No state has become more reliant on wind and solar power than California – and they pay through the nose for it.

Robert Bryce, one of our favorite energy analysts, shows in his latest Substack column that Californians pay nearly twice as much for their electric power as the residents of all other states.

Comparing major city electric power costs tells the same story. San Francisco and San Diego residents pay twice as much for their power as residents of other large cities, even though few states have more energy resources than California.

The old saying is that what starts in California soon spreads to other states. The lesson here from the Golden State is that “green” energy is an expensive mistake.
