Recently the people of Maryland have been walloped with high electric bills. Maryland residents and business have been hit with monthly electric bills higher than Scoop Stanton’s bar tab! And you can thank Maryland politicians for the wallop!
Besides the obvious (cold weather, higher demand) Maryland politicians think they know electricity better than George Westinghouse and Nickoli Tesla. Maryland is big on green energy. Fossil fuel plants have been shutting down while the solar energy and wind turbine projects are not up and running and those methods of generating electricity are no where as efficient as fossil fuels! Some of these idiotic programs include: The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which requires Maryland electricity to come from renewable sources. The Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022 which required strict fossil fuel emission standards and to have Maryland 100% clean energy by 2035. The POWER Act which increases wind energy. And Maryland participates in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) which is a cap and trade program to reduce greenhouse emissions. Power plants are have to buy allowances to make electricity based on the C02 they release!
Meanwhile, these leftist politicians want people to buy electric cars instead of gas powered cars! And these electric cars need: electricity! Then you have these local politicians that love data centers. Easy tax revenue. But they suck up electricity. So the data centers that hold all the pics of Danila that Scoop keeps on his flip phone are competing for the same kilowatts that people are using which increases demand and decrease the supply and raises prices!
