Jerry Clark+FollowWhy Your Power Bill Might Spike SoonHeads up: gas prices are creeping up, and summer blends mean we could soon kiss those under-$3 gallons goodbye. But that's not all—energy companies want more time to fix outages, which could leave us in the dark longer. Meanwhile, giant data centers (think: the brains behind AI and your favorite apps) are gobbling up electricity, and local leaders are worried we’ll end up footing the bill. Watch your wallet—energy costs are on the move! #Business #Industry #EnergyCosts01Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowWhy Your Power Bill Spiked After the StormEver notice your electricity bill shoot up after a big hurricane? Turns out, when storms like Hurricane Milton hit, they can wreck those huge solar and wind farms we see popping up everywhere. Cleanup and repairs aren’t cheap, and those costs get passed right to us. Plus, green energy setups are more fragile than old-school power plants, so outages last longer. Next time you see a shiny new solar field, remember: it’s not just about going green, but also about bracing for Mother Nature’s mood swings. #Business #Industry #EnergyCosts10Share
Katherine Brown+FollowJust got my first "winter" electric bill. Looks like Santa is on a budget this year. 🥶The temperature dropped last week, so we finally turned the heat on. Big mistake. My projected utility bill for this month is nearly double what it was last year. I’m sitting here in a hoodie and two blankets trying to keep the thermostat at 66°F so I don’t have to return the kids' Christmas gifts. Is anyone else freezing in their own house just to save a few bucks? What's your thermostat set at right now? #UtilityBill #WinterIsComing #EnergyCosts #BudgetLiving #HeatingBill #Inflation #HomeOwner00Share
