The green agenda is mostly responsible for this. I see a lot of "climate now" signs around this area. If you have one of those signs or if you donate to a green lobbying group, which is what they all are. This is what they lobby for, increased energy costs, in a misguided notion that if fossil energy costs more it makes green energy more appealing. Unfortunately increasing tbe cost of fossil energy without any viable replacement just makes everything else cost more and leaves the less fortunate amongst us with crippling energy bills.
And I will add, that actual widely available truly green power is not really available, it remains at this time, a myth.

EV's are NOT green regardless where the recharge power comes from because lithium batteries are one of the most environmental damaging products ever devised by man. And if in addition to that, the recharge power should come from a coal powered power plant, now your in the neighborhood of leaded gasoline, HORRIBLE!

Sadly solar is not the answer either.

There will be a green power some day, some day,,,

Until then, think more along the lines of ZPG, TUR, Reuse/Recycle, and better cradle to grave future planning.
