Genuine question though - they were already rising steeply before this year so what is driving it? [/quote]

AI, crypto mining and data centers.

Which is why we need more renewable energy, and frankly the data centers and crypto mining should all be on 100% renewable/batteries anyhow. The average consumer should not be suffering for the high demand these places put on the grid.[/quote]

Also, just simple population growth and the proliferation of electricity using things.  There hasn't been enough new supply brought on, our distribution infrastructure is ancient, and some of the older generating facilities have been shut down.

AI, crypto and data centers play a huge role but they aren't the only problem.  We all use more electricity today than we did in 1999 and our infrastructure and supply has not kept up.  We need more solar but we also need more gas fired plants because battery technology is not ready and we don't have a distributed grid.[/quote]
