    Here in New England we have higher electric rates than most of the country (except of course California) because of shit like this. We’ve been counting on power generation from these new wind farms and they’re already years late. We can’t afford to lose any of them. Insufficient power == higher rates

      Looking forward to my $200+/month electric bill this summer in NY… Last year was $150.

      That’s not for a house btw. It’s a single piece of shit garage “apartment” with one window unit a/c.

        Luckily my utility’s website is down so I can’t check current usage. However last month was $240, and this past month has been much hotter
