We could start hundreds of threads about the exaggerations and lies politicians tell. No individual, political party or ideology has an exclusive on it, it goes across the whole spectrum. This stood out for two reasons though.

1) just the blatant nature of the statement - we have had regular stories in our local papers about the high electrical costs families are facing and how the state is trying to step in and alleviate the costs etc. because folks are leaving off their heat in the cold and doing all kinds of things to try and reduce their costs (and I'm willing to bet its not unique to Northern California)
- and to claim instead that people are saving enough to take family vacations?

2) I may not agree politically on a lot of things with a Bill Clinton or a Barack Obama but I can acknowledge that they had a presence about them and they could command a room and wow an audience with a speech. Harris is almost impressive in how bad she is. Her delivery and tone scream take some time off and go to a few Toastmasters meetings and then come back to the big stage.

There's a reason publications like the New York Times are writing articles sighting concerns from Democrats about Harris being on the ticket in '24. She did her job and served her role in 2020 but that I think was her ceiling.

The Biden administration's anti fossil fuel rules and regs have driven the cost of electricity up. Perhaps she should talk to her boss.

I think you are correct
 
Eversource Rates Set To Double For Customers

Local residents and solar energy consultants are speaking out about steep increases in supply rates that are spiking energy costs for Eversource and United Illuminating customers since the start of the year.

The rate will increase from 12.05 cents kilowatt per hour (KWh) to 24.2 cents per kWh for Eversource customers, which will result in an $84 per month increase for the average user. United Illuminating supply rates will increase from 10.6 cents per kWh to 22.5 cents per kWh, which will result in an $83.09 increase for the average user.

For Anaira Heredia, owner of La Patrona Cafe in Meriden, managing the newly increased electricity bill from Eversource is stressful.

“It’s hard starting a business and having to deal with the increase as well,” Heredia said. “My equipment runs on electricity all the time because I have coolers, and I have to leave it on while I’m not there.”

“Paying double is ridiculous,” she added.

Rob García, solar energy consultant and former Meriden resident, said the supply side is doubling up.

“Basically whatever you paid for in December doubled in one month,” he said. “They always have an excuse whether it’s inflation or because we’re buying from fossil fuel companies.”
