Statewide PA

What is it about the modern Democrat Party that seeks the total destruction and annihilation of that which they perceive as a political threat? The party, or perhaps more accurately, the radical left elements of the party (which increasingly is all of the party), wants to destroy law and order, including our police departments. Just look at the “protests” (i.e., violent riots) in places like Portland, Oregon. Look at the violence against ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) employees in places like Chicago. And look at the dangerous talk of politicians like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is threatening to force the state out of the PJM Interconnection electric grid (see PA Gov. Shapiro Gets Uppity with PJM, Threatens to Leave the Grid). Others in Shapiro’s party are now taking up the mantle with calls to leave PJM, attempting to blame PJM for high electric prices—prices caused by Shapiro and the Democrat Party with their policies and demands for a carbon tax.

Last week, we brought you several posts about a “summit” (a blaming and bullying session) convened by one of the biggest bullies on the political scene today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, to complain about high electricity prices in the PJM Interconnection grid (see Gov. Shapiro Convenes Gang to Blame PJM Grid for His Policies). Shapiro and some of his fellow governors in PJM are blaming the grid operator, alleging mismanagement, for high prices. As we pointed out, PJM is nothing more than the equivalent of an air traffic controller (see GOP State Senators Respond to PA Gov. Shapiro’s Bash PJM Summit).

Yesterday, we told you about comments made by several governors from states covered by the PJM electric grid delivered to a bash PJM summit organized by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (see Governors Pile on Bashing PJM Grid, Including Va.’s Youngkin). The governors are being blamed for high energy prices and feeling the heat, so they’re looking for a scapegoat. We told you that it is their own policies of pursuing unreliable renewable energy and imposing excessive regulations on the energy industry that are causing these high prices, not incompetent management by PJM. Two PA State Senators agree and issued their own comments to respond to Shapiro and the other bashers. Read More “GOP State Senators Respond to PA Gov. Shapiro’s Bash PJM Summit”

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.
