Unplugged: 12 Items You Should Unplug Now To See A Drastic Change In Your Utility Bill.
As energy prices continue to rise and environmental concerns become more urgent, finding ways to reduce household energy consumption is not just a matter of saving money—it’s also about sustainability. Many appliances and devices in your home consume power even when they’re not in use, a phenomenon known as “vampire power.” By identifying and unplugging these energy leeches, you can see a significant reduction in your monthly utility bill. Here’s a list of 12 common culprits that, when unplugged, can lead to substantial savings.
1. Chargers (Phone, Laptop, Tablet)
Chargers for phones, laptops, and tablets continue to draw power even when they’re not actively charging a device. This constant drain may seem minor, but it adds up over time. By unplugging chargers when they’re not in use, you can reduce unnecessary power consumption and extend the life of your charger.

2. Television...

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

PG&E wants ratepayers to pay for propaganda that would garner trust it doesn’t deserve | Opinion

Read more at: https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/article287852220.html

Pacific Gas & Electric, California’s main utility provider and a near monopoly, just keeps finding ways to fleece its customers.

The company’s latest gambit is to pass on the cost of a commercial advertisement for its undergrounding activities under the guise of “safety communications” rather than “promotional advertising.” The former can legally be paid for by customers, while the latter must be paid for by shareholders.

But PG&E so rarely acts in good faith toward its customers that Californians can hardly be surprised at such creative bookkeeping.

Opinion

PG&E spokesperson Jennifer Robison said in an emailed statement to The Bee that this ad and similar television spots have cost the company as much as $6 million over the past year. Records in the company’s mandated accounting process with the California Public Utilities Commission show that PG&E requested those costs be covered by a ratepayer-funded fire risk mitigation account.

Don’t let PG&E’s glossy, highly-produced advertisements (that you’re paying for) fool you. Once stingy about these investments, the criminally negligent utility company is going the most expensive route possible and now they are using ratepayers to pay for the very propaganda intended to make us feel good about it.

Despite PG&E CEO Patti Poppe’s attempt to spin undergrounding the company’s faulty overhead lines as purely altruistic, it remains a project that the company refused to fund until forced to. A 2019 audit by the CPUC found that between 2007 and 2016, PG&E diverted more than $120 million from a program intended to help underground its overhead electric lines; not because the company had found a cheaper method but because it decided to spend the money on other programs.

So now, after not adequately funding line safety programs for years, PG&E is making lemonade out of lemons: It is gladly spending billions more to harden the state’s electrical grid, and it is using ratepayer dollars to promote the most expensive means possible — miles and miles of cable undergrounding. PG&E gets a guaranteed rate of return on these expenses, while utility experts say there are cheaper ways.

Had PG&E used that program money to replace a 100-year-old electrical tower in Butte County’s Jarbo Gap before November 2018, 83 residents of Paradise, Magalia and Yankee Hill may still be alive today.

Moreover, PG&E could have opted instead for above-ground, bare wire insulation and an infrastructure update at a lower cost to ratepayers, rather than opting for undergrounding, which ranges anywhere from $350 per foot to $1,150 per foot (roughly $1.85 million to $6.072 million per mile, according to the CPUC). Installing new overhead distribution infrastructure is much less expensive: On average, it costs between just $120-$144 per foot, or $634,000 to $760,000 per mile.

Such insult is only added to injury in a year where the utility giant has announced multiple rate hikes. The average PG&E household will pay an additional $34.50 on its monthly bill this year, and the company has requested an additional $14 per month stemming from its request to the CPUC to retroactively approve $2 billion in expenditures, dating back mostly to 2022 and 2023. For customers who get both their electricity and natural gas from PG&E, that will bring the average bill to more than $300 a month.

PG&E’s audacity clearly knows no bounds.

Pushing the cost of this advertisement — and it is clearly an advertisement, no matter how PG&E’s unscrupulous bookkeepers would seek to classify it — onto its captive customers is just another affront in a long line of PG&E’s poor decisions.


There are Many TV Ads Selling Concepts: For Example: The USPS Three Dee Animation Video This One is Especially offensive Since Trump Hired Postmaster LeJoy to Intentionally Break the Post Office so VOTE BY MAIL would not Work... (Democrats Often Used Vote by Mail)





ABOUT USPS: "As the U.S. Postal Service continues its evolution as a forward-thinking, fast-acting company capable of providing quality products and services for its customers, it continues to remember and celebrate its roots as the first national network of communications that literally bound a nation together.
Ours is a proud heritage built on a simple yet profound mission: Connect every American, every door, every business, everywhere through the simple act of delivering mail. This idea of universal service is at the heart of a $900 billion industry that drives commerce, plays an integral part of every American community and remains the greatest value of any post in the world."

The fake ad was released weeks after the U.K.-based group InfluenceMap revealed that the five largest fossil fuel companies--Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies--spend a cumulative $750 million per year on public relations campaigns to make the corporations seem committed to climate action, while spending just 12% of their capital expenditures on low-carbon activities.

Electric bills have surged 4.4% in the last year, according to the June 2024 Consumer Price Index.

Rossen Reports is sharing ways to cut costs on your energy bill without spending any money upfront.

Cook with countertop appliances

Don't use your oven unless necessary; it consumes a lot of energy, and opening it releases heat into your home, making your AC work harder. Instead, use a toaster oven or air fryer, which uses anywhere from a third to half the energy of a traditional oven, according to the Department of Energy.
Change up your laundry routine

Another big chunk of your energy costs comes from water heating. Instead of using hot water for laundry, switch to warm or cool water to save money. The Department of Energy says switching your temperature setting from hot to warm can cut the energy use for a load of laundry in half. As a bonus, cooler water is gentler on your clothes.
Check your water heater

Water heaters are often factory-set at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but the Department of Energy recommends lowering them to 120 degrees. Doing so could save you $400 a year.
Other things to consider

Make sure to keep up with routine maintenance around your home, like servicing your HVAC system and changing air filters. Your energy bill is going to be more expensive if these things are not working efficiently.
