Electric shortages and price surges. Yikes!

copied post from internet regarding electric shortages and prices.  TEXAS alert
the zerohedge article is beyond worrisome

I will refrain from making snide remarks about the coup-admin, and just say

Might be a good time to buy a Mr. Heater and a few full grill tanks while you can.

I purchased, during the Trump administration last summer, 500 gallons of ethanol free gasoline for $1.38 US. Just for the heck of it, I called last week to see what the same fuel was selling for from the same vendor, and it was $2.27/gallon. They said they expect another $0.75 increase by July.

Ethanol free gas sells for $3.649 at the only place that sells it near me. Regular gas was selling for $2.199 until last week when it went to $2.659. I'm paying $2.649 for propane and $2.499 for farm diesel. All of those were under $2 per gallon last year, except for the ethanol free gas, which was $1 more than regular.
