Shocking Truth: Electricity Costs Surge! Is Green Energy the Real Culprit?

Megan Vowen

5 December 2024

As the U.S. grapples with rising living expenses, electricity prices have shot up significantly. Rates have increased from an average of 13 cents to 18 cents per kilowatt-hour since 2020, marking a staggering 30% hike during this period.The surge in electricity prices comes as consumers face escalating costs in many areas, including essentials like food and housing. However, the rising cost of electricity is less frequently spotlighted despite being a hidden burden for homeowners and renters alike.Natural gas, which supplies about half of the grid, is at record low prices. Yet, the reliance on intermittent power sources such as wind and solar has added complexities to the energy landscape. The integration of these energy sources is costly because they often don't align with demand....
