California man finds he’s been paying his neighbor’s electric bill for 15 years

Ken Wilson had been trying to conserve electricity in order to lower his utility bill, but it was still stubbornly high

A California man has realised that he has inadvertently been paying his neighbor's electricity bill - for at least the last 15 years.

Ken Wilson, who lives in Vacaville between Sacramento and San Francisco, had been worried that his bill was higher than other people's, which did not make sense to him because he often sought to save power, he told local TV station KMAX/KOVR.
