Don't judge all by some. I grow indoors on the CARE program, but evidently make less than you do on your regular job. In fact, not enough to file taxes on. I reported my income honestly to PG&E, and they legally gave me the discount. Before that, $400-$500 a month PG&E plus all the other indoor expenses, deducted from my average income (for two) of $2000/month, left a very difficult budgeting scene. Friends encouraged me, I got on the program, and now my bill is about $200 a month. It helped, and I think it was meant to help situations like mine. Only the name of the income source was changed.
