Agencies are warning that families could be paying an extra $50 every month and that means businesses will be hit even harder. “When you consider what a manufacturer, a retailer, a restaurant will pay, it will be significantly higher,” said Mark Denzler, of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. “In a case of some manufacturers, they will pay millions and millions of dollars in higher energy costs.”
For the past 10 years my home voltage has been a constant 123 volts. In the past five months or so it has dropped to 118 volts. That is the typical voltage you would have had in the 1960’s. Something is definitely up here, I don’t appreciate them lowering it like this. I suspect they are finally implementing actual reductions based on smart metering data. It sucks.

“Burning coal and gas also creates things like steam, which often is used in industrial processes, and some manufacturers are trying to figure out how they’ll get it in the future. You can’t generate steam from hydro, solar, or wind power.” Boy, those unintended consequences really suck, don’t they?
