It's time to change it.

Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments SoCal’s pollution authority scrapped a plan to phase out gas-powered appliances after receiving more than 20,000 emails sent by an AI-powered platform called CiviClick.

An AI-generated campaign flooded @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social with thousands of fake opposition emails, and regulators voted to kill clean air rules that, by their own staff's estimate, would have prevented thousands of premature deaths.

We've entered a new era of utility corruption.

Utilities have one job: deliver affordable, reliable energy.

Instead, they deliver record profits to Wall Street and higher bills to you.

Make it make sense.

They're jacking up your bills while reporting record profits.

They're spending YOUR money on political lobbying.

They're blocking clean energy to protect their fossil fuel empire.

Who are they? Investor-owned utility companies.

How is this acceptable?

Investor-owned utilities spend millions convincing you they're your friendly neighborhood energy provider. Meanwhile, they're using YOUR bill money to lobby against clean energy, fund political campaigns, and pad executive salaries.

Wake up.

Utilities LOVE Donald Trump's war on clean energy.

Why?

Because expensive coal and gas plants = guaranteed profits passed straight to your bill while cheaper clean energy gets blocked.

🚨 FACT: Utilities are charging customers for corporate branding and political influence efforts, including misleading advertisements and skyboxes in sports stadiums and arenas they can use for lobbying.

Think about that. You're paying them to rig the system against you.

Should utility CEOs get million-dollar bonuses for raising your rates?

Congress introduced bipartisan legislation to ban executive bonuses when utilities hike rates faster than inflation.

Utility companies should NOT be allowed to charge customers for:

❌ Political lobbying
❌ Executive perks
❌ Campaign contributions

It's that simple.

A new report breaks down 6 major utility trends for 2026.

The biggest: Utilities want to spend $1.4 trillion for data centers.

The catch: No guarantee they'll show up.

But utilities profit either way, and you're forced to pay.

Virginia Regulators Approve New Dominion Rates, Assign More Costs to Data Centers - Inside Climate News Provisions could cut down on speculative growth in the data center sector, but don’t go far enough in protecting residential ratepayers, consumer advocates say.

Let's do the math on @DominionEnergy's Virginia rate hike:

* Average residential bill rising to $165/month
* That's $1,980 per year
* Dominion gets a 9.8% profit margin
* Families still subsidize 61% of data center costs

Virginians are getting screwed.
