Farmers' Protest: Plea in SC Seeks Direction To Clear Blockage of Highways in PunjabOAKLAND — PG&E monthly electric bills are rising far faster than those levied on customers of its two California utility cousins, a new official report shows — although PG&E claims it’s on a path to rein in costs. For roughly a decade, customers of PG&E, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric have all been burdened with electricity bill increases that are rising far faster than the inflation rate, according to the report from the Public Advocates Office at the state Public Utilities Commission. “Residential average rates have significantly increased,” the consumer advocacy group’s Dec. 5 report stated. The report also determined that the increase in electricity rates is far more pronounced for PG&E customers when compared with the bill burdens for ratepayers served by Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. Despite the current forbidding trends for customers of PG&E and other California utilities, some hopeful projections are appearing on the horizon, in the view of PG&E spokesperson Lynsey Paulo. Electricity bills do not increase continuously, Paulo asserted. Bills might flatten or even decrease if costs diminish for programs such as mitigation of wildfire hazards. “There are rate increases, but there are also rate decreases when program costs are removed from rates,” Paulo said. Monthly electricity bills, however, have trended decidedly higher for PG&E customers. Here is how increases in electricity bill rates compare for California’s three major utility companies over multiple time frames, as outlined in the state advocacy group’s report. — During roughly three years from January 2021 to October 2024: PG&E, up 56%; Southern California Edison, up 48%; and San Diego Gas & Electric, up 21%. — During approximately 10 years from January 2014 to October 2024: PG&E was up 118% — more than double. Southern California Edison was up 86% and San Diego Gas & Electric was up 83%. Over the 10 years in the survey period detailed in the report, the inflation rate as measured by the consumer price index increased by 34%, the state consumer advocacy group reported. PG&E officials point out that the company’s current average electricity rates for residential customers are below those charged by the San Diego utility, although they are greater than the Los Angeles-area utility. Electricity rate costs as of October 2024 were an average of 38 cents a kilowatt-hour for PG&E, 32.5 cents for Southern California Edison and 38.5 cents a kilowatt-hour for San Diego Gas & Electric, according to the public advocacy office’s report. Wildfire mitigation costs, investments in electricity transmission and delivery systems, and rooftop solar incentives were listed as the primary drivers of the fast-rising electricity costs for California’s three major investor-owned utilities. Oakland-based PG&E insists that its residential customers can expect decreases in monthly electric bills in the coming years. In April 2024, in response to questions from this news organization after an Earth Day event in Richmond, PG&E Chief Executive Officer Patricia Poppe sketched out her vision for a time when PG&E customers would pay less in their monthly electricity and gas bills. “We see a future where customers’ bills can start to come down,” Poppe said in the interview. Poppe added, “We are working very hard to modernize our methods for customers and make (monthly bills) more affordable.” Some changes are already in place, according to Poppe. “We have implemented a lean operating system to shave costs out of our system and improve the customer experience,” Poppe said. If these assurances were to morph into reality, that would be a welcome counterpoint to the ominous trends PG&E customers have faced. In 2023, PG&E’s monthly bills for residential customers soared 22.3% , while the Bay Area inflation rate rose 2.6%. Paulo pointed to one component in the report by the public consumer advocates that suggested an upcoming early 2025 jump in residential electricity rates for PG&E customers would be followed by a decline in rates by late 2025 and going into 2026. In October, PG&E residential customers were paying somewhere around 38 cents a kilowatt-hour, although this rate was expected to reach 39.6 cents a kilowatt hour in early 2025, the Public Advocates Office reported. By sometime around January 2026, PG&E customers can expect to pay 35.2 cents a kilowatt-hour. All of these current costs and projected expenses for electricity, however, are well above what PG&E customers were paying as recently as early 2022. At that time, PG&E customers were paying just a bit more than 30 cents a kilowatt hour. Put another way, if PG&E electricity rates for residential customers decrease to the projected level of 35.2 cents a kilowatt hour, that would still be approximately 17% higher than what PG&E customers were paying around the start of 2022. “Rates have increased substantially since 2014, surpassing inflation,” the Public Advocates Office stated in its report.

A mugshot of far-right streamer Nick Fuentes has gone viral on social media after the 26-year-old was booked on battery charges after he maced a woman named Marla Rose in November. According to reports, Fuentes was booked from his home in Berwyn, in the suburbs of Illinois, on November 27. He is expected to make a court appearance on December 19. Here's the viral mugshot: Why Was Nick Fuentes Charged? It all started with the election victory of President-elect Donald Trump on November 5. After Trump won the election, Fuentes made a comment on X taunting the abortion rights activists in the United States. The 26-year-old wrote on X: "Your body, my choice. Forever," taking a dig at the slogan, "my body, my choice." The remark sparked a massive backlash and Fuentes' address was also shared publicly on social media. It led to several women going to the address and confronting the controversial streamer and activist from Illinois. One such woman was Marla Rose, who went to Fuentes' house in Berwyn and tried to confront him. In a video captured by Rose, Fuentes can be seen spraying some liquid on the woman, before seizing her phone. It ends with Fuentes and throwing the phone on the ground and stomping it.

With 25 percent of the vote according to two exit polls, Ciolacu appeared to be well ahead of far-right challengers looking to capitalise on this EU member's concerns about inflation and the war in neighbouring Ukraine. The same exit polls gave second place to centre-right former journalist turned small-town mayor Elena Lasconi at 18 percent, with two far-right candidates scoring 15 and 16 percent. In the absence of an outright winner in the first round -- scoring more than 50 percent -- the top two candidates go through to a second-round run-off in the poor NATO member on December 8. Ciolacu, a Social Democrat, is leading a field of 13 contenders in the race to take over from President Klaus Iohannis in the largely ceremonial post. He welcomed the exit polls putting him in the lead, but said all the votes would have to be counted before he knew who he would face in the second round. Lasconi too, was cautious. "The scores are very tight, it's not yet time to celebrate," said the 52-year-old politician. Far-right leader George Simion, 38, who some had forecast might take second place, is for the moment in fourth. Exit polls put him just behind the 62-year-old pro-Russian candidate Calin Georgescu. But Simion said Sunday evening: "We'll see the results of the ballot boxes at 11:00 pm (2100 GMT)." Ciolacu's party has shaped Romania's politics for more than three decades, and as he voted Sunday he promised stability and a "decent" standard of living. But political analyst Cristian Parvulescu told AFP: "The far right is by far the big winner of this election." Simion saw his popularity surge by tapping into voter anger over record inflation while promising more affordable housing. Looking for a new election breakthrough for European far-right parties, Simion warned of possible "fraud" and "foreign interference" when voting. But he added: "I am happy that we are giving Romanians hope and the prospect of a better future." The stakes are high for Romania, which has a 650-kilometre (400-mile) border with Ukraine and has become more important since Russia invaded its neighbour in 2022. The Black Sea nation now plays a "vital strategic role" for NATO -- as it is a base for more than 5,000 soldiers -- and the transit of Ukrainian grain, the New Strategy Center think tank said. Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election has further "complicated" Romania's choice, political analyst Cristian Pirvulescu told AFP. Known for his fiery speeches, Simion is a Trump fan who sometimes dons a red cap in appreciation of his idol. Simion opposes sending military aid to Ukraine, wants a "more patriotic Romania" and frequently lashes out against what he calls the "greedy corrupt bubble" running the European Union. Having campaigned hard to win over Romania's large diaspora working abroad, he said the country had only "minions and cowards as leaders". Pirvulescu predicted that if Simion reached the second round his AUR party would get a boost in the December parliamentary election. "Romanian democracy is in danger for the first time since the fall of communism in 1989," he said. "I'm really afraid we'll end up with Simion in the second round," 36-year-old IT worker Oana Diaconu told AFP, expressing concern about the far-right leader's unpredictable nature and attacks on the European Union. The campaign was marked by controversy and personal attacks, with Simion facing accusations of meeting with Russian spies -- a claim he has denied. Ciolacu has been criticised for his use of private jets. Some observers had tipped Lasconi, now mayor of the small town of Campulung and head of a centre-right opposition party, as a surprise package. Sunday's exit polls appeared to suggest they were right. During campaigning, she had said she wanted a future "where no one has to pack their suitcases and leave" the country and for "institutions that work". bur/js-jj/House approves $895B defense bill with military pay raise, ban on transgender care for minors
