Shows how electricity prices have changed since 1960, in both nominal (as they occurred) and inflation-adjusted. The rise since 2022 is evident, as is the mild upward trend following the Great Recession. Today's price is only a bit higher than its low point, inflation adjusted.

Year-over-year increase of 2% is not nothing, but it's not a sudden jump. A series of annual increases started in 2022 for US total, which is about when commercial sales began increasing post-Covid. Residential and Industrial sales are still barely growing, if at all.

A proper comparison of average residential rates, 12-months ended 9/25 with 12 months ended 9/24. I hate Trump and I hate to be a spoilsport, but I also hate statistics made alarmist by omitting context.

MO 2.0%
IA 0.9%
ND 0.7%
OK 3.7%
NJ 7.6%
NE 2.5%
MT 0.4%
WY 2.3%

US 2.3%

Sorry.

Or

These are resistors, and also the reason that spellcheck doesn’t catch it when people misspell resister.

Back at ya. <wink>

This one was out all night, currently sleeping it off. Love the paws. [We’d prefer she not go out at all, but she grew up out there.]

We were told that our new came with a cat. Fine with us; we’d had cats for most of our 50 years of married life. She’s NOT a bad cat. She’s not destructive, and uses her box. But she goes outside to poop, and when we walk the dog, this cat follows along! Neighbors love seeing it.

I’m an engineer, and when I finished engineering school I wanted to learn more about life, evolution, and history. This was the first thing I read.
