reading that electric rates are up 10-11% across the Country 2025 vs 2024. I know mine is.
Local electrical coop says the bill is going go up again,also. In the newsletter they sent, they laid blame on the spastic ( my word ) policies being encountered.

Also, AI data centers and crypto mining are going to drive up our bills as well.
Watched some utube videos, residents of deep red States noting that when data centers
move in, their costs go up. Not to mention the cooling demands that these centers
generate. Texas residents in a County that the local pols gave carte blanche say that the water the data center demands for cooling will cause residential wells to go dry. But
expecting their local pol's to represent the majority of citizens instead of the moneyed
interests is a pipe dream.

There does not seem to be any coherent policies in place, and it seems to be getting
worse.
