TURN tells the Fresno Bee that energy bills are high because PG&E keeps raising the rates, and the PUC keeps letting them do it.

TURN tells the Bakersfield Californian that utilities should work to help keep the power on, not shut off more and more families in need.

Celebrate the New Year with rate hikes from PG&E. Mark Toney tells the Chronicle, "It's like giving with one hand and taking with the other."

TURN's Mindy Spatt tells the Bakersfield Californian, “The right thing to do when people are late is to call and offer energy assistance or bill-paying options. There is no justification for these huge deposit charges.” Especially not now that PG&E is shutting off power remotely using Smart Meters.

Utility shut-offs are up 15-75% in the last year. TURN asks the CPUC to help California families.

TURN ED Mark Toney tells the San Mateo Daily Journal that TURN gets complaints from everywhere Smart Meters are installed. “We are not electrical engineers, we are consumer protectionists. We just want an explanation.”

Customers and legislators aren't happy with PG&E's SmartMeters. Senator Dean Florez joins TURN in calling for a moratorium on the unproven technology.
