The Grid Strain: Why are utility bills skyrocketing while we push for more EVs?

[BellaJones]

Looking at my latest utility statement and it's a joke. Between the grid upgrades and the push for total electrification, the average homeowner is getting squeezed. How can we sustain a massive EV transition when the local infrastructure is already struggling to handle a summer heatwave or a winter freeze? Is it time to reconsider nuclear seriously, or are we just headed for permanent energy rationing?

Is that bill for electricity only? If so does it power more than your house?

Utility companies are monopolies and politicians allow that for a price, their reelection.

Unfortunately Sheeplets are so Stupid and Gullible that they accept everything handed out to them .
