Kampanjapolulla Trump lupasi puolittaa sähkön hinnan. Tämänkin foorumin Magalaiset kertoivat, miten halpa energia tekee ruuastakin halvempaa. Tietenkin tuo etenee, kuten Trumpilta voi odottaakkin.
“Under my leadership, the United States will commit to the ambitious goal of slashing energy and electricity prices by half, at least,” he
said at a rally last year. “We intend to slash prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months.”
Tuo onkin kaunis yhtälö. Nyt sähkön hinta on noussut kaksi kertaa nopeammin mitä inflaatio. Konesaleja pitää tehdä ja nehän vie sähköä hillittömiä määriä.
"A recent
Consumer Price Index report found electricity prices were rising at double the rate of inflation, having increased 5.5 percent over the past year."
"Another major driver of price increases is the buildout of data centers, as AI and other technologies are particularly power-hungry. If these centers don’t come with their own power source, they may just use whatever’s on the grid, driving up demand.
“There is this upward pressure because of data centers,” Rowlands-Rees said."
Samaan aikaan muiden maiden pitää ostaa jenkkien öljy ja maakaasu osana kauppadiilejä. Siihen pääsee vain vientikapasiteettia kasvattamalla ja se ajaa hinnat ylös:
“If the U.S. is increasing its ability to export that gas as LNG, where the exporters will make a much bigger profit than selling it locally in the U.S., then a lot of that gas will then go abroad, and so the more capability the U.S. has to export its gas, the higher gas prices will be in the U.S., for U.S. citizens,” he said.
“There’s such a huge contrast between the global price of gas and the domestic U.S. price of gas … and the only reason the two aren’t the same is because of this limited ability to export,” he added. “The U.S. is in this little bubble of cheap gas, and so the more that bubble is burst by pro-LNG export policies, the more … U.S. gas prices start to look like the rest of the world.”
Tuohon päälle vielä täyskielto uusituvalle energialle, koska se on huijaus, niin jenkkikuluttajalle on luvassa kauniita sähkön hintoja. Enää 6-12kk hintojen puolittumiseen.
