What's the Matter with California's Electricity System? with Loretta Lynch
About this episode
Everyone is angry with California’s private utilities. Rates keep rising, the utilities lack accountability and they are running roughshod over small-scale renewable energy. Why make your customers so mad? Is that anger justified? And what are the utilities planning for the future? Join SN! host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Loretta Lynch. Lynch was President of the California Public Utilities Commission from 2000 through 2002 and continued as a CPUC Commissioner until January 2005. Since then, she has been a strident advocate for the protection of ratepayers and against corruption in the utility industry, a role in which she continues today.
