U.S. Electricity Price to Surge Nationwide

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that electricity prices across the U.S. are expected to rise sharply. He cites increasing reliance on air conditioning due to climate-driven heat waves and growing energy demand from artificial intelligence as key drivers. McIntyre emphasizes that without action, supply may not keep up with demand—potentially leading to rolling blackouts and higher consumer costs.
