A friendly reminder that generating electricity is the cheapest it has ever been.

Another reminder that power companies are being incentivized by the current administration to NOT to make their energy grids better.

This is what the Republicans voted for and what the Democratic party allowed to happen by putting forth their worst candidates.

even before p47, they wernt incentivized either, pg&E california doesnt do that either, but they are ok raising rates to compensate for thier failures, and providing energy for AI data centers, while charging more for residentials units.
