More Americans are getting their power shut off, as unpaid bills pile up

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is not the sign of a bustling economy. Stuff like this is why Trump's approval rating on the economy has sunk like a rock since he took office again. These are the kinds of things people will be voting on in the midterms.

Soaring electricity prices are triggering a wave of power shutoffs nationwide, leaving more Americans in the dark as unpaid bills pile up. Although there is no national count of electricity shutoffs, data from select utilities in 11 states show that disconnections have risen in at least eight of them since last year, according to figures compiled by The Washington Post and the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA). In some areas, such as New York City, the surge has been dramatic — with residential shutoffs in August up fivefold from a year ago, utility filings show.

Biden's green energy fiasco is causing power prices to soar.

I'm shocked!

Exactly!!

As high as prices are already, residential customers are forced to subsidize AI centers

And those of us in democrat states that have the highest energy bills know the REAL REASON for this. Expensive green initiatives, carbon taxes and attempts to remove existing renewable energy sources which waste tax payer $$$. Carbon taxes that are a democrat slush fund. After being a hard core democrat spanning 4 decades, I'll never vote for another commie democrat again and like Reagan, I didn't leave the democrat party, the democrat party left me.

These all 'lectric homes w/300-400A services have usage amounting more than their mortgages ~S~

Wow! 300 -400A? That's a big service. Never seen a residence with that. I've never had more than 200 and never used all of it.

Thanks to Bidenomics.

It is not over anything Trump has done. If energy costs are still soaring, all one needs to do it look back on what Joe Biden did for four years attacking the energy industry with his climate bullshit. It's not like Trump has a magic wand. And had Harris been elected, things would be far worse, except then, everyone would be telling you it is a necessary pain good for the planet and they are honored to contribute.

But because Trump is in office and has been busy hammering out 10,000 other things Biden screwed up, now they want to blame Trump? Energy costs are high up on Trump's list of things to try to wrest under control.

It's a K-shaped economy, with virtually all new wealth going to the top. The rubes are bragging about the numbers, but the numbers are largely the AI buildout. Regular Americans are in bad shape and it's getting worse. His absolutely insane and chaotic tariff circus has caused significant harm to retail prices, business planning, supply chains and employment.

And Trump's illustrious Treasury Secretary? Trump's economic enabler? The hedge fund that Scott Bessent ran (Key Square Capital), lost 90% of its value under his fabulous and brilliant ******* leadership. Why Trump chose this person is a mystery. He doesn't even lie well, if you've seen his interviews.

If anyone were to doubt either of the above two points, they could just LOOK IT UP.

As long as Trump is happy, what difference does it make? Seems to be the attitude in the White House and among MAGA

Trump owns the economy

For better or worse

You don’t get to blame Biden anymore

 

[wamose]

Biden brought on energy inflation but now we're going into the AI era, where demand will soar, which will make the prices even higher. Thank God Trump is here to deal with it.

Said it before and I'll say it again. TODAY is the day to turn all of his focus here, or we are in a fat mess for the midterms.

gawd yes......~S~

 

[Blaster]

I have never had my power intentionally shut down. I guess I'm responsible and pay my electric bill.

 

[sparky]

Part of the problem is, our infrastructure can't handle it, so the costs of updating is passed on to the consumer......~S~

My AO pays less than the state average due to the way we buy our power.
