Gov. Shapiro Convenes Gang to Blame PJM Grid for His Policies

PJM Interconnection is the electrical grid operator serving Pennsylvania, as well as parts of 12 other states and the District of Columbia. For months, the Democrat governors of PJM states have been criticizing PJM, blaming the grid operator for higher electricity prices, even though their own policies are driving electricity prices higher (see Democrats Try to Demonize PJM Elec. Grid for THEIR Failed Policies). Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has been the worst of the worst, acting like a petulant child in a temper tantrum, threatening to leave PJM (see PA Gov. Shapiro Gets Uppity with PJM, Threatens to Leave the Grid). PJM eventually caved to Shapiro’s demand to artificially cap the price now, meaning higher prices and potential blackouts down the road (see PJM Grid Caves to PA Gov. Shapiro Bullying, Blackout Risk Rises). Shapiro kept up his gamesmanship yesterday by convening representatives from all 13 states and other "stakeholders" to bash away once again against PJM.
