Heh logs.
You fixed my crappy morning, much appreciated.
The average utility bill for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers increased by about 67% over the last five years. (source)
I can vouch. My PG&E bills in 2020 averaged around $70 a month, now they’re regularly over $170. No change in my consumption habits. If I’m mathing correctly, that’s more than a 100% increase for me.
