WBI (wonky but important) -->

The electricity grid operator for VA/PA/MD and XX other states just had a MAX PRICE auction for next year.

In plain English, it means your electric bills are likely going to RISE again next year.   Possibly by a lot.

One big reason is that it's really, really hard to get new electricity projects up and running due to environmental lawsuits, people complaining, supply chain woes, etc.  

And we're not talking about coal plants.  There are a lot of wind and solar being held up .. all while older fossil fuel plants are being shut down.

Grid failures and blackouts seem inevitable.  It's really just a question of when, where and for how long.

You've been warned.
