[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you noticed your utility bill has gone up this summer, you're not alone. On average, electricity costs are 5.5% higher today than they were a year ago, according to the latest federal data, and natural gas is up 13.8%.

Nearly 60 utility companies are set to increase electricity rates this year by more than $38 billion, affecting more than 57 million Americans.

Bill increases could be significant (up to 24%) due to the effects of the PJM capacity auction for the 2025/26 delivery year.

The auction was crazy, in part due to Increased demand on the energy grid, partly driven by the expansion of data centers and other energy-intensive technologies, requires more capacity. The focus on fossil fuels and abandonment of wind farms and solar has made it more $$$.

Wind farms and solar make no real meaningful difference to people's bills. You're just looking for an excuse to blame Trump for anything.

In Baltimore suburbs. Bill for August also went up noticeably. Note that one week of August had mild weather, mild enough that I turned off the AC for a week. We were warned for a while that electricity costs would be going up for a variety of reasons, and even a new state regulation plays a role. State did pass a temporary rebate program. [/quote]

He said on day one he'd lower grocery prices and stop a way. He's done neither. He said the economy would be great. It's not. He said people would have jobs and then fired lots of people.
