Spokesmen for Affordable Gas & Electric in Mt. Vernon, says it's going to be part of a new normal in Illinois, and that there are a number of factors leading to price increases. One of the biggest is the closure of fossil fuel plants that are happening faster than the construction of renewable energy facilities.

We knew this was going to happen when the Green New Deal was being pushed thru way too fast. We were told to switch to LED lights to save energy and then Com Ed raises their rates to compensate loss in revenue. EV’s are too expensive for most and take a long time charging. Natural gas is up almost 350% from .28 cent per therm to now $1.24 in two years and may get higher. They told us natural gas burns cleaner for decades now and all of a sudden it contains all sorts of toxic chemicals. https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/06/28/natural-gas-health-methane-harvard-air-toxics https://www.ecowatch.com/natural-gas-toxic-chemicals.html Is… Read more »

”they” said the poles would be ice free by 2020. . .
It’s called trying to fly a plane while building it.
No forethought, just full steam ahead. What an idiot is our own JB!
We’re installing a backup generator this week – hope we won’t need it, but thinking that we may.
What type of fuel will you be using? Natural gas/propane or hybrid?
Cow manure!
