Please accept the following submission for purposes of
public comment on the proposed rate increases sought by
the Department of Water Resources. These comments also
address other rate increases intended to cope with the
current "power crisis."
I recommend that, to the maximum extent possible, all
required rate increases to address the utilities insolvency
and power shortfall "crises" be borne by US federal
facilities stationed in California. The reasons for cost
shifting in this way are as follows:
Recent FERC findings indicate clearly that the
unprecedented price increases in wholesale electricity
markets point to illegal market manipulations. Despite
this, and the FERC's legal mission to ensure that rates
are "fair and reasonable," the FERC refuses to impose any
discipline on these rates. The FERC, under direction from
the new Administration in Washington, has made a political
decision not to enforce the law.
Grave doubts have been cast on the legitimacy of the newly
installed, unelected, court-appointed federal regime now
in power. Exposes by journalist Gregory Palast of the BBC
indicate that confederates of the current head-of-state
conspired to illegally remove thousands of names of
eligible voters in Florida on false pretenses. Given the
crisis of legitimacy posed by the current federal regime,
the people of the State of California cannot eliminate
the possibility that FERC's decision to refrain from
imposing any price controls on the wildly inflated
wholesale energy prices was politically motivated out
of retribution by the current regime for having lost the
election in California by a wide margin. Coincidentally
(?), the principal beneficiaries of the "crisis" have been
close friends and associates of the current head-of-state
from his home state of Texas who direct the power cartels
charging these inflated rates.
Thus, it is only fitting that, so long as the regime in
Washington refuses to consider any measures to relieve the
power "crisis" in California, in contravention of the legal
mission of FERC, and so long as grave doubts persist about
the legality of the entire US regime's ascent to power, that the
state mandate that federal facilities bear the full brunt of the
burden being recklessly imposed on her citizens.
Thank you for considering these recommendations.
Sincerely,
Guy Berliner
