New CA Utility Charges and Rate Structure Expert Discussion

Climate Leaders are invited to a frank discussion of what is known as both the Utility Tax and the Income Graduated /Progressive Fixed Charge. If you live in California and pay a Utility bill, this will affect you for better or for worse and you may have heard nothing about it. 

The environmental community is a bit split on what to do and how to go about doing it so we have invited a very knowledgeable and dynamic group of speakers to talk to you about it. We have:

Matthew Freedman from TURN

Mohit Chhabra from NRDC

Ben Schwartz from the Clean Coalition 

Josh Plaisted from Flagstaff Research

Joe Desmond from CA Efficiency and Demand Council

Dave Rosenfeld from The Solar Rights Alliance

Each of our speakers will be given some time to explain their positions on the issue and the rest of the time will be devoted to Q&A done debate style. 

Though this will be recorded, we encourage you to attend so that you might get your own questions answered.
