We had a similar problem in Alabama. In the last year or so of Obama the EPA forced Alabama Power to shut down a coal plant and replace it with power generated from "clean burning natural gas" fueled plants. This process cost over a billion dollars. Yet a few years later, literally in Brandon's first week of office, Brandon issued EO's making it harder to drill for natural gas because the narrative had changed during the Trump years -- the Dims now say that natural gas is killing us all.
I saw both my natural gas bill and my power bill jump (my power bill has a fuel charge per kWh to make us power customers pay the fuel costs the power company has to pay, including when the Dims change their minds on things like natural gas being our "clean burning" savior or our devil).
Bull crap like that is why I went with decentralized solar and generate most of the energy we consume. The fact that I get most of my power from solar is not the good part -- I'm a firm believer in coal and natural gas being much more efficient energy sources. Same with me thinking ICE cars are better than EV's. The only thing solar brings to the table is it's an energy source I can set up on my own and regulate on my own (I hired a certified professional, but I called the shots, not the Dim cult regulators that put up road blocks between me and coal or natural gas or oil). It's a liberating feeling to buy only 20% of my energy from the grid for my all-electric home, including charging the EV (including the 16K miles we charged it at home last year, not including the extra 10K miles we charged it away from home in the total 26K miles we drove it last year). Basically the Dims' stupid energy policies impact our family's budget only one-fifth as much now.
I highly recommend everybody research if it's feasible to make his home more energy efficient...bonus points if you're in a climate situation to generate a significant portion of your own energy. Alabama is a great climate for decentralized solar (we get lots of sun, most of the energy we consume is for keeping our homes cool in the summer which is when we get even more sun...). Don't be surprised if within a few years there are many conservatives doing like I'm doing, particularly given that we tend to be homeowners and conservatism is more popular in the south.
Off-grid decentralized power is a very strong sales pitch to sell solar technology to freedom loving Americans. For big government loving centralized power communists, that's a strong sales pitch to favor nuclear power. They can't control people they don't like if they can't cancel their economic existence at the push of a button. Nuclear power also has the feature of being prohibitively expensive, requiring taxpayers to take on debt up to their eyeballs and wait 25 years for the union construction to finish. It's hard for communists to envy their neighbors after spending their wealth for them, burying them in debt, and damaging their land value by building perpetual nuclear waste storage sites on Republican voter land, guarded by low-IQ imported Islamic fanatics. The communists will certainly mandate DEI hires, that can't even spell Chernobyl, to operate the reactor cores.
