It's not about ideological side, but about group of people having power monopoly and abusing it without consequences. Specifically, current CA governor having close relationship with state wide electricity provider and allowing to hike rates to whatever level they want.
As an example, my power is generated by one company and distributed by PG&E. I pay $57 for power generation and $140 or so for distribution. PG&E reported close to [1] $2.5B profits for last year. My bills have been going up for $50/month to over $400/month in the last four years.
