National Grid and Eversource are the two major electricity providers for Massachusetts. Both companies have notified the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) that rates for electricity are about to skyrocket.
National Grid has announced a 64% increase in electricity rates effective November 1st. While Eversource is on a different schedule, they too have announced an increase in natural gas rates of 38% on November 1st and the January 1, 2023, electricity rate will be announced in the next few weeks. Eversource is anticipated to announce a similar rate increase to National Grid. WATCH:
Both major power companies rely on natural gas to create electricity. Thanks to Joe Biden’s energy policies, which includes the massive export of natural gas in LNG form, domestic prices for natural gas have skyrocketed and will continue increasing as production is further shut down by regulation.
We are helping the EU survive their sanction driven energy crisis by sending them natural gas (LNG format), while simultaneously forcing Americans to pay more in order to maintain the EU export. Everything about the process is FUBAR.
Massachusetts – […] National Grid said the monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity will increase from $179 last winter to about $293 this winter, an increase of about 64%. National Grid said the delivery portion of electric bills will basically remain flat.
“National Grid buys electricity on behalf of its customers from the wholesale power market through a regulatory approved process established 20 years ago. That process has served customers well over the years and provides flexibility for unforeseen events, like limited supplier response to solicitations. But things have fundamentally changed,” Helen Burt, the company’s chief customer officer, said in a statement. “Today, under a sustained, high market price environment, it is challenging to maintain affordable prices. Given that, we think it’s a good time to work with our regulators and other stakeholders to review the process and electricity supply dynamics in the region, with an eye toward reducing price volatility and maintaining a secure, reliable and resilient energy system for the future.”
The company also announced that its natural gas rates are expected to rise on Nov. 1. They said they have a pending proposal with the state Department of Public Utilities that would result in the monthly bill for an average Boston Gas residential heating customer using 115 therms per month of $278, an increase of $50, or 22%, compared to last winter’s rates.
Eversource, the state’s other major electric provider, said in an email that it is on a different schedule than National Grid for setting its electric rates so no increases are currently planned.
“We file electric base service rates twice per year with the DPU,” company spokesman Chris McKinnon said. “Our last change was on July 1, 2022 and our next change will be January 1, 2023, which we will be filing for in the coming months.”
Over the border in New Hampshire, Eversource announced in July that electric rates would be doubling for many residents due to higher natural gas prices fueled in part by the war in Ukraine.
Eversource did announce Wednesday that it has submitted a proposal to the Department of Public Utilities seeking to raise its natural gas rates. They said their average residential customer using 126 therms of gas a month would see an increase of about 38%, or $86 on their natural gas bill over last winter. Those rate increases would take effect Nov. 1. (read m0re)

No worries … just install solar on your home for $46,000
No – wait …
“The Biggest Waste of Money I Have Ever Spent in my Entire Life… I Own Very Little Power” – Customers are Furious About Solar Panels’ Poor Performance
I actually want to do this but will read your article
Ok so a scam tech company.
I want a Tesla solar array and their battery technology not some cheap shit ugly imitation
So buy a Tesla magic mirror setup and report your findings to us.
Neighbors installed a massive solar farm on the roof of their mansion. They don’t use it because it doesn’t work as claimed.
The neighbors actually lost millions in a solar panel venture in their home state, well written up, even biden stopped by to say ‘solar is the future’ in his flat, dull manner.
It. Doesn’t. Work.
Solar and wind don’t work, that’s why the Elite devil-worshipping kiddie-rapers demand we convert to it.
They hate us. And they want us dead.
It. Doesn’t. Work
Yet.
It’s an engineering puzzle
Stay away from Tesla until they change to Batteries that wont burn down your house . ……. The current best house Solar is FERONIUS Gen 24 + inverters ( Austrian ) with B.Y.D. Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries ( unfortunately Chinese ) ………. Unlike most Solar Systems this Inverter supplies emergency power when the sun is shining even if you DONT have a battery. …… Any quality brand of panels are O.K.
Don’t. You won’t get any ROI. Better do your research and don’t just rely on these articles.
They’re raising rates to scare people into investing into these underperforming technologies hoping people won’t do their research.
Also watch on rumble the documentary I posted many times. The Planet of Humans.

And don’t forget the 14 cents you saved on your 4TH of July BBQ last year! 🙂
16 cents. I saved Sixteen pennies. Lucky me.
I used to have the best Medical and Dental with very reasonable rates.
Then Obamacare wrecked that and my career.
Been without for almost 10 years now.
Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats are the biggest Economic Terrorists /Con Artists this country has ever endured. Setting back probably 80% of the population relative to finances and living standards.
How many voted for OBam?
Biden is a fool
Don’t mention him wrt this conversation
$50k for my new Tesla in May (you’re mileage may vary)
Yep. And the dirty secret is that when it gets hot, solar cells lose what little efficiency they have.
Engineering issue won’t last
Won’t last? Why not? it’s continuous and ongoing, what laws of thermodynamics and physics will change to permit the stupid magic mirrors to work in hot weather?
Are you paid by the solar scammers to post here?
Remember when we had flip phones?
I’m a Registered Engineer. The theoretical efficiency of solar cells is about 30% at a single frequency. In practical terms it is about 20%. You can play games with multifrequency cells at double or triple the price of single frequency cells, but the bottom line is that they only work during the day and crap out after 20 yrs, sooner if you get hail, hurricanes, or tornadoes. And you get nothing if the grid tie frequency synch signal isn’t available, no matter what. And your Insurance Company might well not honor any fire/electrocution/roof damage caused or related to solar panels. I’m guessing you aren’t technically astute.
These are engineering issues that will last forever. Because they cannot be eliminated .
Bingo, this engineer agrees.
Pessimist view I don’t agree with but you are presently correct
You don’t understand the science, yet you have faith that the problems will be worked out in the future? This electrical engineer thinks that you’re pushing your cultist views on others, so beware of the reaction that you get.
I think you should stick with your day job.
Stubborn thing Physics … and the physical properties of matter
I would agree except…
There needs to be a way to sink the heat away from the cells. As an electromechanical/electronics tech, I can safely say that all semiconductor devices (ICs, transistors, and even solar cells) generate heat while operating.
So you need a way to sink the heat away from the device. Some ways are attaching a metal device called a heatsink that allows the heat to be dissipated. Fans are also an option. Most often as not, you will have a combination of these.
The only way to heat sink solar cells would require a cooling system that would be water cooled similar to your cars cooling system. This would require both a pump to move the water and a fan to force air through the radiator to cool the water. So you end up with a net loss to keep the solar cells cool enough to be efficient.
Solar cells are great for use on a small scale but will never be a real solution for high power load needs such as heating, air conditioning and powering your home appliances.
What degrades PV solar cell performance is ambient temperature. Heat sinks won’t fix that, but air conditioning would, however PV solar doesn’t even generate enough watts to power your typical household AC system.
The only benefit of PV solar is that the power it generates is almost always consumed on site, which lowers the overall demand on our electrical transmission and distribution grid. Our grid is old and is at capacity in many regions. As we increase demand by charging electric cars we are headed for disaster.
Windmills are just a waste of good taxpayer dollars.
Breaks my heart when I drive by older homes here in SE AZ and see the frames of solar panels…without the actual panels…on top of the roof.
Obvious they have been there awhile.
Lots of reasons people here are dis-illusioned about the claims.
Sad
As an owner of a 10kw ground mounted solar array, backed up with a Tesla Powerwall 2 (functions in “island” mode when grid is down) , grid tied, I say that the referenced article is highly misleading. Nothing more than click-bait.
Properly installed and sized solar will essentially offset one’s power bill.
The problems referenced in the above link relates to Pink Solar.
The downside to home solar relates to the initial cost abd poor orientation. Solar systems are highly refined and function well when completed by quality installers.
Australia has a huge home solar following.
Solar installs are complex. The typical rooftop install is not ideal.
30% tax credits are an incentive for those that pay enough fed taxes to benefit from the credit.
Too many Amercans are grossly misinformed about small solar installations.
Home solar isn’t a “Climate Change” issue– no different than owning a generator.
I’m anti wind and anti large scale solar for grids. Nuclear and fossil is the only way for affordable large scale electricity generation. Only an imbecile would try to shut down petroleum based energy production….
What’s your EPA cleanup costs if one breaks and leaks to ground? Or didn’t they tell you about that…
Engineering issue
What is your solution? We need innovation
No, a broken panel that leaks to ground is not an engineering issue…
It is an EPA environmental issue.

|What ya know about “Spidey Sense”, milktrader?
Edit: Yeah, I grabbed a quote to frame things…
Basically correct. ….. ” Solar Farms” are too expensive for the power they provide and cant supply Base Load when it is needed. …… However individual Solar on a Grid connected house can massively cut the cost of your power. …… The most important factor is an honest competent Installer. …… Feronious make the best Inverters. ……. The battery should be a type that is hard to set alight and easy to put out. …… Panels can be any good Brand. …… Note. – All the Fire Brigade can do is watch your house burn if you have a Tesla or similar battery. ……. This will change over time , but some safe batteries are now available from other makers.
But it’s all for a good cause to save the planet! So those in Massachusetts shouldn’t complain they believe in and voted for ChiCom Joe and the climate change hoax! I’m just waiting for them to virtue signal how much CO2 is being reduced and the cost increase is worth it! A vote for Democrats is a vote for high energy and food costs!
It’s not about saving the planet – that is vane.
The planet was here before us and will be after us.
It’s about saving our species which appears not worth saving the way we are having this conversation
Species not worth saving? Thank you for exposing yourself.
Our species are not in any real danger except from the “greens” who believe we’re over populated and want to eliminate the excess that does not include them.
And Dr Frankenfauci
I’m afraid you’re misinformed about who’s trying to eliminate our species.
Going by their reaction to 50 migrants, Imma thinking they are going to boil that blue blood.
Young people, you’ve got to understand you’re not saving the planet. There’s 3 catastrophic ash layers within the geological layers of the earth. One was from the earthquakes that separated the continents (that is indeed why they all look like they could fit together in a jig-saw puzzle). Think of the forces going on in something like that; and the fire being released from the bowels of the earth. The sun blocked out for thousands of years.
The layer that killed the dinosaurs I believe was from a meteor or it could have been from volcanos, I forget. At any rate a meteor caused at least one of them, I believe it was a 1/2 mile wide (that’s all). Two miles wide and everything is extinct, life can’t survive.
When the world ends it’s going to be something of this nature, not the little ant man going about his business to survive.
Asteroid…Chixclub crater!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater
110 miles wide. Think about that asteroid?
Yes and I agree
They started doing it well before Sleepy Joe was in office. Mass already has some of the highest retail electricity rates in the country. More to come.
The hike is expected to last through May. The news reader reads without a thought that the higher rate will be increased by May with an even higher rate. George Orwell we miss you!
Well we have Eversource here in CT. I guess we can expect the same.
Yep, we’re in the worst inflation cycle any American has ever seen. This could get really bad.
Well, we all know who did this.
Was going to write that too Jenevive! I’ve been watching my bills go straight up these last 3-4 months.
Leave CT while you can… Best move I made was to move to SC.
I’m off to NC in October- phew!
Welcome to NC!
All the New England states have the same natural gas prices so yes.
It gets better Sundance:
– France has numerous nuclear power plants offline (France typically exports NP generated electricity)
– Many EU countries shut down nuclear power plants after Fukishima
– A Spaniard told me last week that the Russians bribed EU NGOs to the tune of 200 Million Euros to lobby and shut down NP plants, natural gas, etc. Big scandal. (I haven’t been able to find a source to confirm it.)
Those wraskally wrussians! Truthfully, the idiots in the NGO’s are foolish enough to do it for free, so why waste money bribing them?
It figures that certain EU countries with NPPs shut them down after the Fukishima disaster, the knuckleheads did not understand that it was the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that did the Japanese plant in not the design of the reactor. Now Chernobyl… that was a crap design.
In the Pacific NW, it’s going to be $1/therm vs $278/115 therms or $2.4/therm, the Boston area. Though we don’t have an LNG terminal nearby so that is helping.
I figured out that at current wood prices it makes sense to switch to wood at $1.5/therm. Fortunately, when we added on to the house we added a wood-burning furnace, it has a similar ambiance to an old type fireplace but uses a heat exchanger to transform over 85% of the wood energy into heat into the house. Not as good as a NG furnace at 95%, but wood grows on trees and we have a lot of them in the PNW.
Electricity is at $0.10/kWh, but we have enough solar panels to cancel out our energy use per year.
I live in a part of NorCal where we can still burn wood. Other parts of the state can no longer say that. I’m stocking up for the winter.
It is amusing in a way that this announcement comes from the Bostonian blue blood enclave. Wonder how Martha’s vineyard will react?
I do pity those who are just average Joe’s trying to get by, but I am also seeing the irony here. At some point, the upper crusted will get pinched, especially when the Uber lower class they created and kept suppressed turn on them. And it is already happening.
Martha’s Vineyard does give a shit – they can afford it
They will find a couple illegal immigrants and put them on big hamster wheels to power their enclaves.
Haha!
Have you ever been to Martha’s Vineyard? There are no “average Joe’s” there and that is exactly how the elite who “Summer” there want it!
The worker bees come in for the summer season and leave immediately after Labor Day.
I have spent much time there! A relative of mine owns a house there. Oh, and yes, my relatives there are
screaming MA liberals!
Me and mine will never go back there ever. We will be immeasurably better for it.
Elect stupid politicians ………………. get stupid results ……………..
Politicians the world over are the same… Mostly idiots.
Going to be extra tough on a fixed budget for retired people. The only people gaining anything will be the elites.
Ok that’s true.
Survival of the fittest applies here.
Nobody lives forever and nature demonstrates this daily
Elites (as perceived) are those with the most resources to promote our species
Our elites are unique in that they are not the fittest but only the most entitled
Hence we are headed to fail as a species

Exports of LNG to socialist EU-where is Ragnar Danneskjöld?
Sooo, Bribem is shipping our LNG to Europe, and Massachusetts is importing LNG from Russia?
Yes, 🤡 🌎
Liberal logic and reason in action = clownworld, yes, perfect.
Yup.
The destructon of our economy is on track…
What kills me is that all the massive landfills across this great nation are generating who knows how many millions of cubic meters of methane gas every day. A gas that could fuel steam turbine generators in lieu of natural gas. And it sits unused.
Addendum:
The use of Stirling engines would reduce the need to even need water for a steam turbine. Just hook it up to a generator and let it roll.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine
Not to mention the gas produced by animal waste lagoons on farms. Like your landfills, waiting to be tapped. How much gas is flared off of wells?
The good news is that there is an almost unlimited supply of gas waiting for the right political conditions to restart fracking. If we survive.
Years ago, (1980s) I used to drive by an old landfill literally just outside of Oregon City, Oregon. They were flaring off methane back then.
There’s a push to use this as renewable natural gas in semi trucks.
So many areas cap the landfill and then use the methane to produce power.
Our lowly southeast part of Arkansas is about to build a waste facility that turns landfill waste into gas and other usable products. If it is not a huge boondoggle and actually works it will be huge I remain highly skeptical
Have they blamed the ruskies or Trump yet?
These days it goes without saying. It couldn’t possibly be the Democrats and Joetato’s fault so who else could it be. On the bright side never forget Democrat voters get electric bills too.
More of Americans last.
couldn’t happen to a better bunch of democrats. they are getting exactly what they voted for
Somewhere there is a nat gas trader with his hands on a keyboard and illuminated by his multiple screens congratulating himself for “increasing value.”
It’s not all a simple matter of finding an equilibrium price point between supply and demand. Fear is being priced in, rightfully.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) went on with John Solomon from Just the News on RAV on Thursday.
Rep. Comer recently obtained new documents that show Hunter and Joe Biden were working to sell American natural gas and drilling assets to Communist China.
The sale would have allowed China to take control of our natural gas industry through the deal.
The documents show Hunter was working with the Chinese to get keys to an office in DC for himself, Jim Biden, Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden.
But there’s more… Representative Comer says he has two new whistleblowers that worked with Hunter and they are ready to expose it all when the Republicans take control of Congress.
Rep. James Comer: I have two whistleblowers. And I am confident they are going to come through in a Republican majority when I conduct the hearings and I have the gavel for oversight. To tell us in detail what their objectives were. And these people were associated with Hunter Biden. And the ultimate goal and the Bidens knew it was for China to start taking ownership in all the different parts in the natural gas industry in the United States… They actually take control of the drillers.

China Energy Investment signs MOU for $83.7 billion in West Virginia projects
By Reuters Staff
BEIJING (Reuters) – China Energy Investment Corp, the world’s largest power company by asset value, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to invest $83.7 billion in shale gas, power and chemical projects in West Virginia, the U.S state said on Thursday.
The gas and power agreement marks the first overseas investment for newly founded China Energy, which formed from a merger of China Shenhua Group [SHGRP.UL], the country’s largest coal producer and China Guodian Corp [CNGUO.UL], one of its top five utilities.
The touted investment would extend over a 20-year period, covering projects for power generation, chemical manufacturing and the underground storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), West Virginia’s Department of Commerce said in its announcement.

Eco-freaks waged war against invaluable coal and oil fired power plants such as Somerset’s sixteen hundred megawatt Brayton Point power plant as well as the Salem Harbor and Mystic River plants north of Boston.
A few years ago, leftist politicians and their useful idiots cheered as Brayton Point was shut down and then demolished.
Demolished. They cheered. Cheered, as an invaluable asset was forever destroyed.
What’s their replacement? You guessed it, gigantic pinwheels and magic mirrors which can not begin to equal the output of the now demolished plants.
This is not about ‘sustainable energy’, ‘green new deal’ or any such sly slogan.
They hate us. And they want us dead.
It was obvious fifty years ago during the first oil shocks, the Elites wanted humanity to starve to death in a freezing cold, dark hovel.
They’re about to get their wish with the dumb northern liberals who fell for their glib lies.

Agree, in fact the warming effect of CO2 doesn’t go up linearly.
It only blocks certainly wavelengths. So doubling CO2 doesn’t double its effect.

What We Know About Hunter Biden’s Deal with a Chinese Energy Company
Hunter offered to use his contacts to help identify investment opportunities for Ye’s company, CEFC China Energy, in liquefied-natural-gas projects in the United States. After the dinner, Ye sent a 2.8-carat diamond to Hunter’s hotel room with a card thanking him for their meeting. “I was, like, Oh, my God,” Hunter said. (In Kathleen’s court motion, the diamond is estimated to be worth eighty thousand dollars. Hunter said he believes the value is closer to ten thousand.)

Seven years ago Kinder Morgan proposed Northeast Direct. It didn’t get scuttled because of FERC. It got scuttled because they couldn’t get enough anchor shippers (utilities) to sign up for capacity. This despite the fact that all utilities have moratoriums as they are short capacity. Why did this happen? The utilities aren’t going to go against what the liberal politicians want. Why’s that? Because at the next rate case they will have the Mass DPU destroy them. This situation can get much worse. On a peak day in the winter 25% of the natural gas has to come from one of the three LNG facilities. If they need that LNG they are competing with Europe and Asia for that gas. It is possible we will see record prices much higher than what we saw in the polar vortex winter 2014-2015.

I’m sure Kushner will be making some kind of statement regarding that.
Or not.
Wait until the regulations kick in that limit how much natural gas or oil a utility can burn to produce electricity. Not only will rates skyrocket but the utilities won’t be able to generate enough power to meet demand just using wind and solar. That’s when rationing will be unleashed. Limiting the hours AC can be used in summer and forcing thermostats no higher than 66 degrees in winter. Enjoy.
Yes Germany and Europe in general is the test case for how hard these anti humans controled by Satan can push a modern society before a desperate people rises up and deals with their useful idiots.
But just like Sri Lanka the damage is done. Which is why we all need to prepare as best we can.

Even IF (big IF), this administration avoids a complete economic meltdown, the dangers and the risks of serious economic depression looms in the very near future.
Understand this risk. recognize it and take actions. prepare and organize within your communities with like minded people …and mostly dedicate at least one part of your life to the service of the elderly and the young who will be at highest risks when these crises transform to serious effects.
God Bless America
Americans have always subsidized the EU socialists. What else is new? Look at the Paris Climate Accord, for example. USA was practically the only one paying in. And Big Harma has always charged astronomical prices in the states to cover the rest of the world.
This is another gut punch, to be sure, but haven’t we always funded everyone else’s socialism? The only difference here is that Americans are hurting too much now to open their wallets for everybody else.
the economic model set up after WWII had the US ensuring free trade on the world’s oceans and an open market to all nations without tariffs basically so other nations could export their produced goods to a willing market….it is called the Bretton Woods model…..OPEC was created within its framework by Kissinger so that the world’s oil supply could be stabilized whereby a set market price was assured in exchange for the purchase of US Bonds for the excess dollars from the purchases
I suppose flaring off nat gas at the wellhead because “pipelines” wouldn’t be a welcome sight right now.
if you are at a producing well and do not have either a pipeline to feed it into or a tank to store it in you have little recourse but to “flare it off”
We have subsidized European defense since WWII so they can have social spending largess……we will subsidize their energy. Nothing new.
And in the winter in New England the solar panels will often be buried under snow. Try cleaning them off. With great care.

I think the biggest energy use of most homes is maintaining the comfort level we have grown accustomed to the last 5-6 decades. Be it heating or cooling.
When we were putting HVAC in our 100 year old farmhouse that had never had any, we did consider using the ground as our base temperature source. Fluid filled piping thru the ground for temperature regulation. The ground temperature maintains about 60-70 degrees year round. Easier to get 65 degrees up to comfort than 30 outside in the winter and easier to use 65 degrees as source temp when outside is 95 in summer. Instead of the put in air HVAC system straining to overcome the extremes.
We did go conventional since money was a bit tight and $0 payout was about $15 years. We live in south Georgia. I would consider retro fitting later perhaps. And I guess the underground piping with fluids is a much more passive and less wear and tear than constant sun on panels.
Let’s Go Brrrrrrrrrrrrandon.
My electric went up 50% about 3 months ago. Good luck to you all

Obama said … in a private multimillionaire donor gathering in the Sea Cliff Neighborhood of SF (look up the Redfin valuations) … that the plebes energy prices needed to necessarily rise. Well … the good little plebes all said yeahhh! Fossil fuels are icky! They were told that by their middle school science teachers. So they cheered Obama’s proooooogressive … bold … statement.
Well … we’re here in Obama’s shadowy third term … and his proclamation is coming to fruition. He has the backing of all the corporate CEO’s who all say DIVEST from icky fossil fuels … DIVEST!!!
Yes … plebes will FREEZE this winter … in the dark … with the aroma of spoiled meat surrounding their corpse.
Happy Holidays???
Right?
“Thanks to Joe Biden’s energy policies, which includes the massive export of natural gas in LNG form, domestic prices for natural gas have skyrocketed and will continue increasing as production is further shut down by
regulationa cabal of 5th Column principals and agents of a hostile conspiracy to usurp and destroy representative government under the Constitution of the United States through an orchestrated campaign of asymmetrical warfare conducted against The People of the United States and their lawful representative government and install a centralized government to instead represent and secure foreign interests and agendas.”We need a formal resolution on the floor of Congress to declare Klaus Schwab as an Enemy Combatant. We need to further define the WEF leadership and most significant enablers as Enemy Combatants.
Time to formally call it what it appears to be. We are besieged as a people and a nation by these Enemy Combatants who seek to usurp our representative constitutional government by fiat of infiltration and asymmetrical warfare on multiple fronts to degrade and ultimately collapse the economy and wealth of the People of the United State; to subvert and subsume their sovereign independence as human persons, and subject them to fiat rule by a non-representative central government serving fanatical and criminal global hegemonic interests.
Are they not Enemy Combatants?
Even if such a resolution should fail adoption, the mere fact of it reaching the Congress for action would be a powerful harbinger of the awakening defensive actions necessary to instead collapse and corral the non-state makers of asymmetrical war against The People of the United States, and to arrest and neutralize these treacherous conspirators no differently than prior Enemy Combatants brought to justice.
Congress have many on WEF’s payroll
this image is iconic…historically icon. in all of the bad ways that historical iconic images can be (vietnamese girl naked and screaming…tiananmen tank man, etc)
.. it is exactly the polar opposite of the TRUE PRESIDENT gliding down the stairs with the confidence and poise of a real American full of hope, vigor and direction.
God Bless America
I drive over that bridge in the background- the Braga Bridge, at least once a week. I live within a 10- 15 minute drive of that bridge.
And every time I drive over it, I remember the towers that stood, visible as one went over it – the symbols of the energy the plant supplied.
Since FJB visited the site this past July, as I travel over the bridge, I visualize him standing there, in the same spot where the plant stood, celebrating his country/way of life destroying, so-called “green energy”.
Dumb people pretending they are smart
No technology advances and virtue signaling their individual moral superiority
I believe just a couple of weeks ago Sundance predicted prices would go through the roof in about 30-60 days.
Spot on SD…
Plenty of Nat gas in NY but Emperor Andy declared that it has to stay in the ground.
No pipelines across NY to New England either.
Elections have consequences.
didn’t they either limit or shut down fracking in PA when they installed Slo Joe?
We are not ready for sun energy but we need to ignore the idiots in the room and make progress regardless
the current agenda is just the vehicle in their attempt for total planet domination..
solar and wind power will not work in a viable capacity.. and will simply be surpassed by other technology that is being kept under wraps..
the technology of “Free Energy” already exists.. it is being withheld because they cannot find a way to put a tax on it or charge for it..
because it is truly “Free”.. throughout the Universe.. no need for tanks or fuel..
Nikola Tesla discovered the way to harness it from the magnetic field that surrounds the planet.. and which permeates throughout the Universe..
all natural and all powerful with no emissions..
Nikola.. ..the Real Tesla..
baaaah, baaaaah.
National Grid is an English company. Funny that.
Why do we even have foreign companies running our grid anyways?
Surely it is not a National Security issue. /s
Corruption and graft.
If my memory is correct, foreign companies run many of our military commo networks … and use offshore servers.
They don’t run the actual grid but they do manage the local lines. European companies saw limited returns overseas so they have bought US utilities. They know bending over for the politicians wishes related to the RGGI programs and other renewables projects is a cash cow for them so they will continue to do them. Who pays for those projects? We do. When you see your local school putting up solar panels in the parking lot and tell you about the “savings” you can look at that line item in your bill. They aren’t saving anything. They are moving the costs from the school directly to the ratepayer.
Another big winner in the solar scam is the financers. Those roof panels have 25 year contracts. It is steady money over a long period of time. And if Pedo-Joe “forgives” all those “unfair” loans? Guess who gets paid? The contract holders!
You can fool some of the people all of the time!
