In one of the poorest states in the nation, people have no choice but to buy electricity from a monopoly utility that rakes in record profits from residential bills that are among the highest in the nation. Great article on how Alabama Power and its captured regulator got where they are today.
How Alabama Power Kept Bills Up and Opposition Out to Become One of the Most Powerful Utilities in the Country - Inside Climate News
In one of the poorest states in America, the local utility earns massive profits producing dirty energy with almost no pushback from state regulators.

EV sales *still* have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Media is lying to you.
After two years of headlines begging for failure, EV sales keep defying false media narratives that they are dropping, and continue to rise.

Electricity update - The cost of electricity is on the rise in our area. The reason here is because PJM has been slow to increase transmission & roll out new capacity for renewables as fossil fuel plants that are not competitive shut down. (Growth of data centers also contributes). 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 🧵

Gas update: Seems I may be owing Kevin a dinner... It took us three phone calls & several week's wait to turn off our gas last spring. Then we had to dispute an estimated bill (from a smart meter!) that was 10x greater than our actual gas use. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 🧵
I'll wager a month's fixed gas fee that it's a helluva lot easier to start giving them money again than to stop!
though knowing utility websites and bureaucracy, that might be a risky bet...
