Drowning the middle class and poor in sea of red via California’s green policies PERSPECTIVE
Texans are not the only Americans that need protection from their public utility commission and state legislators.
While Californians aren’t getting slammed with power bills increasing 10-fold and beyond overnight, they are still getting financially bled to death granted slowly by energy policies.
We might be thankful for not being at the mercy of unregulated wholesale and retail power markets but we are at the mercy of regulations gone wild in the name of being green.
This is not to damn green energy but rather to damn the manipulations made to the market that have made it increasingly tough on the shrinking California middle class and the expanding segment of the state classified as low income and/or the working poor.

I decided to become a candidate for the GVR Board because I feel neglected and ignored by the current Board. Iâll do my best to represent GVR members fairly with complete transparency. My wife and I are year-round residents of Green Valley. I retired in 2008 after a 40-year career as a custom home builder. I served on the board of several HOAs in Oregon. I was a founder and board member of a little league and coached youth sports for 15 years. I currently serve on the board of Santa Rita Church of the Nazarene.

I’m a Black man in America that’s hard. Black founders, and uniquely Black founders in tech, are facing insurmountable odds.
As the recipients of less than 1% of venture capital raise, institutionalized systems are visibly at play. Within almost 10 years of my entrepreneurial journey, I have encountered just as many setbacks and failures as I have successes.
However, I have pressed forward despite the disparities that often plague the Black entrepreneurial community. From imbalances in fundraising to minimal capital and access, Black brilliance and its cloak of resilience continues to rise.
