A reader says he stopped heating his home because of high SoCalGas bills and is now thinking about using an electric stove and solar water heating.
I had to stop heating my home, because for each of the last three months my bills from the Southern California Gas Co. have doubled. If I had continued to heat my home, I’d be living in fear of what I would have to pay SoCalGas in March.
Further, it has now given me the incentive to change to an electric stove top, put in solar panels to heat my water and to use an electric space heater only in the room I am occupying. If the natural gas utility is no longer economical, let’s get rid of it.I opened a mailer from SoCalGas saying that my bill was higher this month because I used more gas than efficient homes. It was my fault. There was no mention of cold-weather usage.
Of course the executives would have us believe that our bills and their compensation are not their fault. Our bills are our fault because we’re not efficient, and their compensation isn’t their fault because the shareholders decide what they make.
