I will not call posts here 'skeets.' Never mind that where I come from, that word would typically refer to a blood-sucking, disease-carrying flying insect, there is a simply better portmanteau to be used.

The US ramped up natural gas exports dramatically starting in 2015, which tied US gas prices to global markets. Electricity prices too, since gas power plants almost always set clearing prices in almost every US electricity market. So now our gas and electric bills are higher and more volatile.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
