Planned obsolescence. Climate change folks are winning. People just don't care enough and won't move until it personally effects them.
Every Entergy lineman says the same thing.
All these solar panels they are putting in while shutting down coal plants can't provide the same amount of energy. Eventually they will shut down enough coal that it will start causing rolling blackouts daily no matter the time of year.
Then in 10 years the federal program ends and these panels will become useless and we'll all be screwed.

The good news is there is not a 'bully' in the office of the President and there are no mean tweets.

Prices down YoY in FL

The increase is probably in states that have a high amount of EVs.
I was reading about EV charging the other day. Most mainstream Teslas have a battery between 65-100 kWh.
The average person uses 900 ish kWh a month.
Even if you only charged it 4 times a month that that would be a 29% - 45% increase in usage, overnight. Not gonna help prices. That's for sure.

don’t think “fossil” is an accurate term anymore. It gives the idea that we’re going to run out sometime soon, which is demonstrably false.
Correct.
Hydrocarbons rise in enormous plumes from the mantle into the earth's crust. They sit there (well, they do move but very slowly) and settle into rock formations and wait till we drill and pump them up
Common sense tells you dead dinosaurs didn't create all the oil.

Yep, my bill skyrocketed to $69 last month.

No it doesn’t. You are making that up. There is no such implication in that name.

This makes absolutely no sense.

Common sense also tells you that “fossil fuels” does not imply that most of it comes from dinosaurs. Most of it comes from plankton (oil) and plants (coal).
Where fossil fuels come from

I found another item much higher this weekend. It's the time of year for gardening and potted flower plants are up almost 40% . It's gotta be transportation. Almost all the plants in La. come from Fla and are shipped by big trucks going west on I-10 and I-20.
It's either gas prices, lack of drivers, or both. I don't think dirt and seeds are scarce.

An average driver at ~14000 miles/year would use about 264kWh a month. Thats taking the consumption approach vs capacity utilization.

It's kind of funny to watch people talking about EV charging from their house like it's magic. We can do level 2 charging from our travel trailer.

Imagine that..
Shutting down reliable power sources and replacing them with unreliable wind and solar. No one saw that coming!
..and when some areas are forced to go through rolling blackouts due to a lack of generation capacity, they will blame it on climate change.

This summers monthly bill should be lovely.

Electricity Prices Are Exploding
Simple supply and demand as usual.
No more coal plants.
EPA hoops for miles to open nuclear and natural gas.
Old plants being decommissioned.
Fields of solar panels that get demolished in storms
Equals pay more.
Will continue to happen when brain dead idiots vote in people who kneel and bow to climate Nazis. While letting out economic rivals do what they want.
