My electric bill has gone from $84/mth (one-bed apartment) to $146/mth over the past 11 years with the basic same KW/H usage.

Reason: I live in Washington state and all the time tested power sources, coal, hydro-electric, natural gas are being replaced by inefficient & expensive to build & maintain "Green renewables".

Also this state makes sure everyone is tithing to the climate-change religion so they came up with the Climate Commitment Act scam to further take money out of our pockets.

I'd move but I'm too old....*Sigh*

You realize we’ve reduced electrical generating capacity significantly over the last 10 years. In many cases replacing it with power generated from green fantasy. Now that that has for the most part stopped. Mothballed power plants and building new power plants has only just started. They don’t pop out of the ground instantly and start producing power.

Demand data centers bring their own power. Any excess power they can sell to the grid.
