In this episode of The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon talks with Mark Toney, Executive Director of The Utility Reform Network (TURN), about the growing energy affordability crisis in California and across the U.S.

Despite increasing costs for homeowners and businesses, utility companies continue to raise rates—while reporting strong profits.

So what’s really driving these high electricity bills?

This episode covers:

• Why utility rates keep increasing year after year

• The hidden structure behind utility profits

• How regulation (or lack of it) impacts your bill

• Why some public utilities charge HALF the cost of others

• The role of wildfire costs, infrastructure spending, and policy

• How distributed energy (solar + batteries) can reduce costs

• What legislation is being proposed to fix the system
