Thanks to idiotic "green" energy.[/quote]

Electricity is sold on wholesale markets. 2025 summer temps are averaging almost 2 degrees F higher than average. But also humidity levels are record-setting.

Plus, data centers are putting significant demand on electrical resources. 
A new IEEFA analysis highlights a dramatic spike in capacity market prices set at auction by PJM — an electric grid operator covering many Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states — largely tied to data centers, like those in Northern Virginia's "data center alley."
One estimate found that data centers accounted for over 60% of the increase in prices in a PJM auction held last year, the report says — representing $9.3 billion that will be passed along to customers.

This demand is reported elsewhere.

And guess what? If you rely on fossil fuels to meet that demand, it will get even warmer and more humid, increasing the cooling demand. That also increases damage from storms/floods (Warmer air holds more water, dumps more water when it meets a cold front), which increases costs for repairing transmission poles and lines.

Yeah, try blaming it all on liberals and their solar/wind energy. We need more, not less.

We can externalize the costs for only so long, eventually we'll all pay.
