Except we still don\u2019t take calls on complaints about the electric bill, although, you know what? I may change that. I may allow calls about the electric bill if your energy is provided primarily by renewable. If you live in a place where they have made the majority of your electricity due to wind and solar, and if you\u2019ve seen your bills skyrocket because of it, I wouldn\u2019t mind hearing from you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-239046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-062817-Solar-Panels-Rush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-062817-Solar-Panels-Rush.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-062817-Solar-Panels-Rush-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you why. This was supposed to lower the cost of everything, right? Renewable, sustainable, right? Clean. Wind and solar. And the price of solar in wind, the raw material cost is going down. But yet it has been discovered in recent research that where a sizable chunk of a community\u2019s electricity is provided by renewables, wind and solar, their electricity rates are rising like nobody expected. And they\u2019re shocked. And they are stunned, because they were lied to. They were told it would get cheaper. It would be cleaner. It would save the planet. And it would help them assuage some of the guilt they felt over having contributed to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Now they see their bills skyrocketing and there is, by the way, a market economics reason for it. I\u2019m not gonna explain it now \u2019cause there\u2019s other stuff out there. I just thought of this. Okay. (interruption) Somebody over there\u2019s raising their hands, which means they want to be heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  I may allow calls about the electric bill if your energy is provided primarily by renewable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":239046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
