Already done in VA. First thing the Dems did when they finally got control of the State Legislature was put a special tax on hybrids and EVs for NOT buying gas and paying the tax that way. Imagine that. Preach at everyone to go EV to save the planet and use "look at all the gas money you will save" as a plus to buying, only to turn around and tax you for doing it.
Or King County that has a few full time people at $150k that help the homeless access the library.
They do that here in Washington as well. You ever see how much tabs for a Tesla cost? It’s incredible, almost $1000, I pay almost $200 for my 19yo hybrid POS, my wife pays $60 for her ICE POS. They’ll fuck you any way they can and then claim poverty.
Raising taxes on every household’s energy bills even higher will be done in WA state by the end of the year.
Probably true. But the fact remains that PSE can only do what the regulators approve. And they approve limiting cheap fossil fuel electricity and mandating expensive "green energy" along with super expensive transmission expansion and upgrades to support getting "renewable energy" from nowhere to somewhere.
The Marriage of state and industry is...how we get to liberal utopia.
