Governors Pile on Bashing PJM Grid, Including Va.’s Youngkin

We must confess that we're disappointed in Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (Republican). After such a promising term as governor (term limited to a single, four-year term, ending this year), Youngkin joined a gang of Democrat governors, headed by the biggest bully of them all, Pennsylvania's Josh Shapiro, in bashing PJM at a "bash PJM" event hosted by Shapiro in Philadelphia earlier this week. Youngkin and various Dem governors, including Maryland's Wes Moore and New Jersey's Phil Murphy, made threats against PJM via speeches delivered remotely (they couldn't even be bothered to travel a few hours to Philly to be there in person). We say fine, take your marbles and go home. Leave PJM and see how that works out for you when your residents are sitting in the dark 50% of the time and you've ended your political careers overnight.
