Maryland’s Electricity Crisis Is Already Underway in Minnesota as Well

By August 4, 2025Commentary2 min read

I am sometimes a little bombastic and dramatic in how I discuss issues, but always based on a strong core of truth.  When I say that climate hysteria is nothing but a method for rich people to get richer by the renewable energy scam, it is absolutely true.  What is also true that this “renewable” energy and the backup storage or generation it requires are 1) more expensive, 2) unreliable and 3) environmentally damaging through the building, operation and disposal cycle.  And we are beginning to see the obvious results.  This post at ZeroHedge describes what has happened with Maryland’s electricity prices after it went to an all-renewables strategy.  Some people are experiencing bills up several hundred percent.  The looney-tunes Dems who passed these policies and falling over themselves to make excuses, but it is their fault and they ignored clear warnings.   (ZH Post)

Minnesota is headed down the same path and our electricity bills are already beginning to show huge increases, after lying Timmy Walz told us when he had the bill phasing out cheap power sources passed, that the costs would be lower.  Massive amounts of productive farmland are being turned into solar farms that are damaging and will be gone with the first hail storm.  It is dark here a lot in winter.  Wind is very undependable here.  So Minnesotans can look forward to even higher bills and blackouts; it is wonderful to have no power for days on end.  And the hysterics wonder why the general public is dropping out of the climate religion.

    “… environmentally damaging through the building, operation and disposal cycle.”
    This is never talked about, just the unbalanced portrayal of acheiving energy utopia.

    Pennsylvania is in a similar situation; the state is under the same power grid (PJM) that Maryland is. The politicians are attempting to blame PJM for the problem instead of government policy. In the last 10-year Pennsylvania shut down several power plants due to guidance/demands/financial incentives from government policy. PJM was warning about this for several years, wish they would have been vocal for longer than that.
