we have 70% of our electricity use, on average, on hydropower. about as good as it can get, but demand for electricity between electric cars and massive data centers built out east, consumers getting rekd regardless. oh and we are also the national guinea pig for building out large scale battery storage, which is all financed via utility bills. So, i have no doubt our electricity costs will be insanely higher in 5, 10 years.
You are saying there is no room for increasing capacity? That hydropower is maxed out?
High electricity costs will be bad news for Portland and antifa lunatics. There is a happy ending

no, but between consumer increased demand and building data centers and upgrading the infrastructure...id wager that increase outstrips added energy sources, thus proces go up.

chill out man, most people here are not a caricature of whatever it is you hate.
there isnt much people can do when data centers that are used globally are being built by facebook and google in the same utility provider's network. whether the 'hipsters' you speak of want to reduce energy consumption is irrelevant when massive energy consuming data centers are built 100 miles east of the city.

Portland is a failed city, headquarters for Antifa, dysfuntional and third world, bringing down the entire state of Oregon
