That points to a larger concern in hotter neighborhoods: how much control households have over their bills when keeping cool requires more electricity.Micah Reed, the Valley resident who started a petition after receiving that bill, describes his search for answers.Johnny Graham, CEO of Pacific United Power, draws on the residential bills he reviews across Southern California to discuss the pressures facing households and what meaningful relief would require.*Views expressed in this video/article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of California Insider.
