Yeah. That’s been a problem for the Watermelons here.
It never dawned on them that the bumpkins in the serf states might actually have a use for the power themselves.
We have a nation full up with people who grew up telling their parents to “write a check” and the parents did cover all of their whims with a payoff. Well, they believe that since there has always seemed to be unlimited electricity, that there always will be. So they build projects that need usage, allow 150 Million immigrants in, legal and illegal. Electricity for all they have, then they shut down capacity. Get rid of Coal, Oil, NG even, no new Nuclear plants, then switch to EVs Ebusses, Eferries. Then they MANDATE THEM. They don’t know that you need NG to cook Pizza, or any good meal. They never did without, ANYTHING.
Now we will all have to do without a lot.
