The frustration over high electricity bills in San Diego has reached a boiling point, with recent reports confirming that residents are now facing the highest electricity rates in the entire country. According to a report by CBS 8, San Diegans paid an average of 36.5 cents per kilowatt-hour last December, surpassing rates in Los Angeles by 34% and even outpacing Hawaii's average rates.
The unprecedented surge in utility rates has left residents reeling, prompting a search for sustainable solutions to curb costs and ensure energy security. Amidst this challenging landscape, solar water heating emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional energy sources.
