U.S.
utility customers, faced with some of their largest bills in years, are set to pay even more this winter asNatural-gas prices have more than doubled this year because of a global supply shortage made worse by the, and they are expected to remain elevated for months as fuel is needed to light and heat homes during the winter. The supply crunch has made it substantially more expensive for utilities to purchase or produce power, and those costs are being passed on to customers.
Supply crunch? Fracking produces Natural Gas. Oil Co's profit at prices above $38/barrel. US brent is trading at $85+, higher than 2012. We were so called energy independent in 2012, producing more barrels than consumed, so we imported for 1st time since 70's. What gives?
so the best thing to do is outlaw combustion automobiles and forbid gas appliances and power them with electricity
Biden's America
Rampant financial speculation on the natgas futures markets has been driving prices & the misconception that high European prices should drive US natgas prices. US production at record levels & +100 Bcf injections coming with fall weather. US will have plenty of gas this winter.
Just wait until everybody is driving electric cars 😅
This is a completely manageable problem for a nation that is the largest exporter of oil, one of the largest producers of coal, gas, has nuclear plants, etc. State utility boards should be auditing producer costs NOW.
Utilities companies are doing price gauging. The federal government needs to step in and lower the prices that consumers are paying.
Go woke get broke.
Corporate overloads making profit from energy supplies desperately needed is normal. Nothing matters until they are forced to suffer like this themselves. The GOP is financed by these very corporations. They, in turn, subvert any law or group that hinders corporation bloodsuckers
Bidenflation BidenVotersOwnThis
At what point are we able to recoup these costs from Biden voters?
My electric bill quadrupled this month.
That'll fix Trump! Right Joe?
Let’s see their earnings at the end of 1st quarter 2023.
