Big Beautiful Bill could inflate Wyoming electricity rates, some observers say

9 comments

1. Over 29 percent for Wyoming. And it’s not just some observers saying it. Journalism is dead.

2. Did electricity rates get lowered by Biden IRA? Clearly no.

   So why would BBB boost them? Solar can thrive without any subsidies.

3. “could inflate”…….it absolutely will, and not for just Wyoming.

   America needs a ton of electricity. Renewables were cheap and quick to add to the grid. No one is going to build new coal plants.

   Many states have renewable energy mandates. And renewable energy just went up. (and the steel tariff is a big cost). That increase is going to be passed along to the consumer through higher electricity bills.

   Wyoming is a leader in wind energy, so when their senator says they are releasing Wyoming energy he’s lying or ignorant. Wyoming is more than coal or oil and gas.

4. Voting has consequences.

5. Trump says there’s “something for everyone” in the big bullshit bill. Massive tax cuts for billionaires, increased energy costs and reduced health benefits for the rest.

6. Why would anyone be against making electricity cheaper?

   I mean it’s so crazy to not want that, that you’d have to have some kind of vested interest or something, in order to want solar to be more expensive…

   Can you think of anyone that would want to make solar more expensive?

7. Come on the point is to own the libs. Winning /s

8. “Owning the libs” is going to expensive.

9. Could? NO, WILL. Northwestern Energy just raised rates in Montana by 20% in anticipation of this bill passing, and the MAGA State Senate gave them the power to do so at any time, with no public input, and no review by the PSC.
