What did they expect. They destroyed a major gas line coming from Russia to Germany. So, the Germans had to buy that gas from some other place. Much of it now comes from the USA & Qatar in the form of LNG.

The Europeans bid up the price of LNG on the world market. That effects what Eversource has to pay delivered Boston to run the electrical generation plants up here in NE.

The NET result is that electric bills for many customers, especially in New England DOUBLED.
Now, when people on my local Facebook page were complaining about this fact I asked them were they in favor of the proposed gas pipeline from PA through NY , MA and NH ?
Most never answered me because none of them wanted a 3’ diameter pipeline in their backyard(NIMBY).

It amazes me how the Dim voters think it's just cool that Obama forced many power companies to shutter coal plants and replace them with power plants fueled by "clean burning natural gas", then Biden makes it harder (thus more expensive) to get natural gas, which makes our power bills go up even more.

In the 12 power bills before Biden my true cost per kWh (after subtracting flat monthly fees, but including the fuel charge rate rider that the power company adds) ranged from 10.2¢ to 13.3¢ per kWh (average 12.7¢). In the past 12 power bills it was 14.0¢ to 16.7¢ (average 15.8¢). An increase of 24.9% in just 3 years.
