Is Texas market really "competitive" when 2 firms NRG Energy, Inc. & Vistra service 66% of the 7 M homes? It's pretty much the same power. Cheap RECs don't make up for hassle of yearly re-shopping & paying $440 more than in non-ERCOT. #energytwitter

BGE's residential electric supply rate / kWh will be 17¢ in Sep. It was 7.2¢ in 2021. That's ~$1,000+ / account. 😳apnews.com/article/electr… Marc Levy #energytwitter

Just in from Illinois, new report shows that customers who chose alternative electric suppliers ("shopping customers”) paid an average of 2.4¢ more per kWh than those who stayed with the default utility service. That added up to millions more in their monthly bills over the past

It's clear that 4-5 years ago Big Tech, Crypto, AI, utility companies & PJM knew that our current & delicate PJM grid with a mongo backlog clean energy queue would not handle the energy demand slam so quickly. No one thought to say, "hold up." Nope. Ratepayers are ATMs.

Big tech, AI, Bezos, Elon, billionaires- your theme song!!! youtu.be/Own0JqHKQSw

Hey Fox News, it's AI & data centers driving NJ & PJM utility bills rates. (hint-13 states on 1 grid). Even Ruby Red TX thrives on solar, wind, batteries. Lame to have a Swedish climate skeptic blaming NJ rates on clean energy. #energytwitter qz.com/americans-elec…

Abe Scarr, our friend at Illinois PIRG, is in East St. Louis tonight for a state forum on Ameren IL's $131M gas rate-hike request. Abe says regulators always hear from the utilities, but it's important they also hear from consumers! Read our joint release: buff.ly/fADrmqW

This social worker says she suspects the rate hike has "gravy" for Ameren's stockholders. She's right! Ameren is trying to win the largest shareholder profit rate (10.7%) of any major IL gas utility. She reminds Ameren that people are getting "squeezed to death" by rising costs.

I emailed this excellent solar myth buster to U.S. EPA Mr Zeldin as he thinks coal and gas are cheaper, healthier & groovy. No reply yet. #energytwitter interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/sola…

Maryland's BGE electricity supply is 10 ¢ more per kWh since 2021. A 140% increase. +$1,000 per family per year. Utility arrearages are climbing to pay for VA data centers, transmission & now power plant buildouts. youtube.com/watch?v=YN6BEU…

Flippin' hilarious and sadly captures the rate payer conundrum perfectly. Add in profitable transmission, power plants (& gas infrastructure) built by regulated utilities, and that explains it. #energytwitter Maryland PIRG newyorker.com/cartoon/a61401

YES! DC's OPC comments that Retail Choice 1.0 needs reforms for sky-high consumer rates. DC People's Counsel #energytwitter $600+ per account more. Retailers do this on purpose. How for so long?energychoicematters.com/stories/202509… CleanChoice Energy @smartenergy

Our poor climate 😢really cancelled by Oil & Gas, an industry dead-set on taking down our livable planet. Ship of Fools we are.

AI & fracking's parallels are spooky. I now wonder if AI/Tech is re-writing Fed laws so they cant be sued? Just like the Halliburton Loophole in 2005 Energy Act. youtu.be/t-8TDOFqkQA?si… Dave says Climate Action Now!!!
