amy? >> good morning. most of the viewers chiming in on my facebook page do not like the idea and aren't big fans of pg&e. here is the debate. should people who use less energy have to pay more? the current rate give those of you who use little energy a break. the idea is to encourage people to conserve. those who use the most energy are charged more than the service actually costs. pg&e says this is an unfair burden. the proposal that will be voted on today would increase rates for customers who use the smallest amount of energy. critics say this is robbing paul to pay peter and says it doesn't encourage conservation. pg&e says those who use a lot of energy aren't necessarily the rich and mighty. some of them just are in a hotter climate and need more energy. or have more people in their home. what will this mean for your bill? probably a 10% increase. that's what they are figuring it will mean for most of us. there will be a small amount of people who could pay up to 20% more. big vote today. this mornin
