Recently, we heard about a Netflix original series called White Gold. We were intrigued because the show is about a replacement window company, and we were curious to see how the replacement window industry would be portrayed.

Rates from San Diego’s major electricity providers, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Southern California Edison (SCE), both hit consumers of electricity with substantial rate hikes. At the beginning of 2017, both SDG&E and SCE changed the tiered rate structure, which means San Diego residents are now paying higher prices for much of the energy they’re using.
