Its not good news at all, electricity prices have gone up a lot since this net-zero insanity took over. Morons are clapping their hands like trained seals at their bank accounts being drained by corporations and politicians.
No they haven't. Mine has been the same for a few decades and it's fine.
Yes they have, rates used to be 0.12/kwh all day long, recently they rolled out a peak pricing scam and it's 0.22/kwh from 2-7pm, that is nearly double.
Wanting to breath clean air on a habitable planet isn't insanity.
The air is plenty clean as it is, has been for decades too... as long as you don't live in California, where the smug is so thick it's asphyxiating.
Tell that to the people in East Palestine Ohio. Tell that to the people that live near coal plants.
Doesn't matter where you live if the planet is uninhabitable.
All prices have gone up in the same window you describe!
This is due to corporate greed. Solar and wind are the cheapest sources of energy in the history of the world.
