Across the country, electricity prices have jumped more than twice as fast as the overall cost of living in the last year. That's especially painful during the dog days of summer, when air conditioners are working overtime.
The federal government currently spends about $4 billion a year to help low-income families with energy bills. But Wolfe says that's not enough to cover rising cooling costs in the summer. And President Trump's proposed budget would end the assistance altogether.
The increases that are hitting me the hardest by far are from insurance companies.
Yeah this is a racket.
Great time to eliminate renewable energy.
Not sure it works at scale, lots of failing large scale renewables.
My take after reading WhatsLeft is that renewable works for the avg household/neighborhood.
But thats not where much of the energy is going, much like water.
Residential electricity use -> ~38%
At my hangar we get free electricity, idk why. But people are using to their advantage, its where I keep my freezer for my beef. Its the only reason I bought half the cow.
Costs for electricity are rising, not because of the inputs (energy generation) but all the logistics, and distribution, lawsuits etc etc.
As an example, I have to have a small ring of aluminum (space) between my front bulk head and the propeller bolts. The part is only $10.00 at most, but everything else about it amounts to about $379.00.

The costs in America are moving away from the COGs, to all cost of the infrastructure wrapped around it.
