      just by going up lol. I use to be able to get a solar/wind contract for 8c/kWh as recently as 2 years ago.  I get the rates e-mailed to me once a week and they range from 12.5c - 14c. That's really close to my house. I can often hear them.

      Not just us, Asia and Europe are suffering much harder than we are with the Hormuz blockade.  There will be a worldwide shift. One interesting thing, there are a lot of German vehicle manufacturers who will be left out I think as China has cracked the EV thing. With the decline of America in NATO, it makes sense to me that Germany will use its auto plants to re arm.  I wonder how energy contracts will evolve with the changes in society and industry.

      In many states you can sign 1 or 2 year rate contracts. That only covers the cost of the generation and not the delivery, but even delivery is set by the state and is usually once a year rate change at most.  I've had green energy contracts for my house for years.  It's nice to know my rate is fixed.

      Yep. that's one of my biggest issues, the instability. I REALLY doubt my electricity rates will just double in a month or triple in a year or anything wild like that.

      Pittsburgh area rail fanning for Drew...     This is exactly what will happen to much of the oil infrastructure in the middle east if the war there gets hot again. Iran will hit the exporting and production capacity of every nation with US bases.
