That is regional. In Europe commercial/industrial prices are usually higher, especially in times of crisis, because residential power has a price cap. Damn socialists and their regulations!!1!

    Yes it is! And this article is written about States being in the United States and how its affecting that infrastructure.

    Trust me, I know shit is better everywhere else. My comments are about the current state of USA electricity and how its being affected by the content in this article. Which takes place in the USA.

    I'm sure in the land where they actually care about people its different.

    I don't think this is true, although maybe in some places.

    For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟
