Utility monopolies are threatened by California’s solar progress: don’t let them pull the plug on the future.
California’s climate emergency accelerated in 2020. Nearly every resident experienced blackouts and increased wildfire risk. Utility companies ignore the effects of fossil fuel pollution and our rising electricity bills.

Utilities want full dependence on their expensive and unreliable power. This is what they do:
- Build the most expensive grid possible.
- Collect a guaranteed profit on top.
- Force ratepayers to pay more to build outdated infrastructure.
- Spread misinformation about net metering and rooftop solar.
- Create fear and insecurity.

Here’s the truth:
- Net metering and rooftop solar threaten the utilities business model - they will stop at nothing to protect their bottom line.
- Rooftop solar is critical to meeting California’s clean energy goal and keeping our air clean.
- Rooftop solar reduces strain on the grid and lowers costs for everyone whether they have solar or not.
- Solar, especially with batteries, are a consumers' best defense against spiking energy costs and power outages.
- Just under half of all solar is going into working and middle class neighborhoods and on a growing number of multifamily apartment buildings.
