Editor’s note: It is no coincidence that new reports are showing that New England, and indeed all states involved with the Northeast’s Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, rank among the states with highest electricity costs. Climate Realism has pointed out many times that renewables are not cheaper than traditional resources, and states that have a large penetration of renewables suffer from higher energy costs, as well as less grid stability.

(The Center Square) – Residents in New England pay more for electricity than nearly all others, according to the Energy Affordability 2026 report from the American Legislative Exchange Council.

ALEC released its analysis on Wednesday. North Dakota and Louisiana were the leaders in the review of electricity prices and energy affordability indicators as measured for each of the 50 states. The higher the ranking, the less expensive the costs for consumers.

Yup.  And Natural Gas prices skyrocket in Winter when there is contention for a limited supply of natural gas between heating, electricity generation, and industrial gases production.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has been warning New England for over a decade, but, Dems will claim it is "unprecedented", "unpredictable", and "unforeseeable".  Their remedy will be more wind turbines, more solar panels, and government subsidies for lower-income rate payers.

Our elected officials are all in on economic self-destruction.  Jobs that don't require advanced degrees will flee the region.  Those that don't will need to be filled by (illegal) immigrants.

This is what happens when the limousine liberal ruling elites are enamored with European Socialism. 

Man, I miss American Exceptionalism and American Rugged Individualism.  Globalism is nothing more than a race to the lowest common denominator.
