Green Agenda Fallout: Democrat-Led Northeast Now Has Highest Electricity Prices In Nation

Reeling from their 2024 election loss, Democrats are scrambling to reconnect with the working class—yet their brilliant strategy of embracing socialist and communist candidates, doubling down on un-American woke ideology, shielding criminal illegal aliens, and supporting dark-money NGOs that fuel insurrectionist behavior like the Los Angeles riots—isn’t a comeback plan but just political suicide.

The party of leftist social justice warriors is cracking under the weight of its own failures. Woke culture is imploding, „green” fantasies are backfiring, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Democrat stronghold states of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, where the retirement of stable, affordable fossil fuel power in favor of unreliable solar and wind is driving up energy costs to the highest in the nation this summer and breaking the pocketbooks of working-class families they claim to champion.

Energy policies should balance three key objectives: affordability, reliability, and environmental sustainability — often referred to as the „energy trilemma.” Yet Democrats rammed through climate policies that torched two objectives, affordability and reliability for the environment.

According to the latest EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook for July, the average summer wholesale power prices across the PJM, NYISO, and ISO-NE grids are the highest in the nation. These prices now far exceed those in Texas’ ERCOT, the U.S. average, and even the traditionally high-cost West Coast markets. The blame is squarely focused on the Democrats’ initiative to decarbonize power grids.

Whatever happened to the Biden-Harris regime’s Inflation Reduction Act (green new deal scam)??

The PJM grid, the operator of the largest U.S. power grid serving 65 million people across 13 states and D.C., has been transformed into an unstable mess:

• America’s Largest Grid Operator Warns Of Summer Power Shortages

• „Maximum Generation Alert” Issued for Nation’s Largest Power Grid

• „Maximum Generation Alert” Declared On America’s Largest Power Grid

• „Another Reason To Leave”: Top Maryland Power Official Warns Of Regular Rolling Blackouts

We’ve warned over the last year about the power crisis unfolding across the Mid-Atlantic:

• Goldman Says Mid-Atlantic Power Prices „Finally Caught Up To AI Data Center Load Growth Story”

• Maryland „Can’t Import Itself Out Of Energy Crisis” Amid Urgent Need To Boost In-State Power Generation

Last month, Pennsylvania boasted about saving Maryland’s power grid from near collapse:

• „You’re Welcome”: Pennsylvania Boasts About Saving 'Green’ Maryland From Near Power Grid Collapse

The result of failed green policies and surging power demand is a crisis that’s hitting working-poor households the hardest. Democrats are now scrambling—especially in Maryland—to regain narrative control of mounting dissent among voters (read here) over skyrocketing electricity bills. The green agenda is backfiring, and the optics are brutal for crazed progressives. One alarming estimate suggests that nearly 20% of households in central Maryland are behind on their utility payments.

Voters should demand accountability for failed green energy policies that undermine grid reliability. It’s as if the whole climate agenda appears to be sabotaging the nation’s energy stability through unrealistic targets and premature fossil fuel phaseouts. Meanwhile, in the global superpower race, China is rapidly expanding coal-fired power generation to ensure base-load reliability. There needs to be accountability.
