Here's the first shot across the bow due to soaring electrical Rates. Wonder how this will affect ski area operations across the landscape this year.

that sucks (cannon). surprised it took this long to start happening though, much worse in europe.Here's the first shot across the bow due to soaring electrical Rates. Wonder how this will affect ski area operations across the landscape this year.
And Chicago has embargoed our wind, Venus has cut our solar shipments, this is driving our energy prices up. Clearly.The government is pushing the "green new deal", did you really think that the price of electricity would stay the same? Heck I'd be willing to say that electricity will become even more costly than fossil fuels. If the "green new deal" makes it (which I have my doubts about).
Not even close. Natural gas is way cleaner than coal. Nuclear should be one of the answers.The move from nuclear is ridiculous... and by the way natural gas is like 1% cleaner than coal...
Small Modular reactors could be retrofitted into coal plant sites. It is just taking forever.Nuclear tech has come a long way...but most don't know that. So they don't want it around them...this will take a while if ever to change.
Eversource in NH is about $0.22/ KWH for the electricity and about $0.10 for the delivery for a total of $0.32/ KWH. This is for residential, I don't know what each resort has negotiated for their wholesale rates. It was over a 100% increase on the energy side of the bill.Does anyone have insight to what resorts are now paying per kWh beyond just Cannon?
That would be the fastest way to get clean cheap electricity to replace natural gas generation.There is plenty of capacity in Hydro Quebec. There are political actions from US generators and local nimbys that fight access.
Here is an example in Maine:
It won't be too much longer for attempts to ban skiing (and golf) by the green new deal socialist propagandist. Just a matter of time. Even worse for them, the two sports are primarily done by white men----oh my God (I mean mother earth).The government is pushing the "green new deal", did you really think that the price of electricity would stay the same?

after they are done banning skiing and golf the woke mob will probably try and turn you Trans and make you join black lives matter.It won't be too much longer for attempts to ban skiing (and golf) by the green new deal socialist propagandist.

Starting to realize that the woke mob won't be satisfied (notice how I didn't say happy) until everyone is as miserable as they appear to be.after they are done banning skiing and golf the woke mob will probably try and turn you Trans and make you join black lives matter.
