Electricity is expensive when you create it with fossil fuels. Moreover, it should have ALWAYS been fucking expensive.

No one is getting screwed, we're all just guilty of getting addicted to an unsustainable lifestyle that we all fucking KNEW was unsustainable but did nothing about. Now the whole fucking thing is collapsing and we cant outsource our suffering to the rest of the world anymore.
