I was told that the cause of this was ultimately due to the growing pains of moving our society from fossil fuels to green energy.

Growing pains is a nice way to phrase Crippling Energy Prices.

But hey, as long as we're getting those Windmill Farms up and running off the coast and bulldozing forests for Solar Farms, I assume we'll get there. Well some people will, I'll be living under an overpass.

Wind and solar today are the cheapest form of electricity.

This price hike is entirely because New England is heavily reliant on imported liquified natural gas, which is much more expensive now due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Europeans are now relying on LNG to make up for lost Russian gas imports, and massively bidding up LNG prices.

Ya, that answer is BS but the greenies love to see people suffer. It just goes to show what a bunch of incompetent jackholes they all are.

So because they cannot get their system up so that we could all have a switch over that is relatively painless, these dbags are vicious and vindictive.

Never net a greenie I liked

How about no one is doing anything about all this but they get their rocks off thinking causing high prices is OK.

They live in a fantasy land but no one wants to get it up and running.

Im actually just concerned with not freezing to death, and not having to make choices between freezing and eating on a daily basis. But being afraid of that is worth some downvotes I guess.

I was hoping the competition would lower prices.
