A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
This is what happens when cheap power generation is replaced by Climate Cleric-approved green power. We don’t expect JB the Hutt to understand economics, but he should at least understand the grid operators do not operate in a vacuum and the same Bidenomics that continues to raise prices for all Americans also caused the power generators and grid operators’ costs to rise. This is what the old leftist ‘Fight for $15″ crowd simply couldn’t see coming, also due to their complete non-understanding of basic economic principles.
PJM may indeed bear part of the blame but there are many other causes, including Illinois’ overly aggressive green energy policies.
Which of course are ENTIRELY Democrat policies.
