No it won’t. People will leave faster than electric consumption will increase. Problem solved by progressive governance.

Other red states will require a bigger grid though.

Il was the manufacturing giant of the USA and built ample power generation to feed industry the lowest rates in the nation a generation ago. Now it’s a toilet flushing it’s industry, people and future away.

There’s a video of a lady giving testimony in congress today screaming and raving at a congressman that he’s killing black people because he supports the oil industry.

These are the kind of people that started hanging witches in Salem and couldn’t stop themselves.

And Crain’s with its opinionated write ups is a part of the problem.
