Blue States Shock Taxpayers’ Wallets With Massive Residential Electricity Rates

Blue state taxpayers were hit with the highest residential electricity rates in June, outpacing most Republican-controlled states, according to data recently published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Of the 20 states with the highest residential electricity rates in June, 16 of them have Democratic governors, according to the EIA data. The most expensive residential rates of the continental 48 states in June were Connecticut, California, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Vermont, all of which President Joe Biden won in 2020, according to the EIA data.

The least expensive states in the contiguous 48 were Washington state, Louisiana, Utah, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky, with former President Donald Trump carrying all of those states besides Washington state. Of the least expensive 15 states in the same time period, only two are not governed by Republicans........

Energy costs have risen twice as fast as the costs of all other goods since Biden took office in 2021, according to the House Budget Committee. Currently, energy prices are up by about 30% since Biden became president.

Going to be very expensive to charge those electric cars in blue states. Oh well, EV owners can take the bus if they need to go somewhere. Keep voting Democrat.

LOL - great comment. God blessed me placing my family in Red States...

This is a targeted agenda to incentivize blue voters to move to red states and then keep voting blue.

Where I live in TN I pay more for water/sewer than electricity.
