I’ll need some more info on that because that’s not how it works.
Certain states produce more electric than they use and other states use wayyyy more than they produce. I realize that technically electric co's are private (technically but not really) and sell at a market rate but we all buy and sell stocks and are forced to go through NY. Some of us buy and sell commodities and we are forced to use Chicago. We all consume entertainment and are forced to use Cali.
Why can't we small states decide that these larger states have to pay a premium for electric? They need it worse than we do and they always brag about how much more wealthy they are than we flyover people are.... They forced my state, KY, to go away from coal, in which we are wealthy, and our electric rates went up.... Why can't we pass that cost on to large cities? It honestly makes way too much sense to me. Rural people have 2 things we can hold over cities in our current culture war. 1 is electric and 2 trucking of goods and food. Cities love to wield power over us hicks and I dont see a problem with returning the favor.

For instance.... NY produces less than double the electric KY does. Ky uses way less that half the electric NY uses. So Ky exports electric to NY. Ohio produces close to the same amount NY produces but uses less so they export to NY. Penn produces twice as much as NY but uses way less so they ship electric to NY.
I know what your saying about that isn't how it works but it'd be real easy to meter electric leaving a state and where the end user is. Poor coal areas in Pa, Ky, Wv, OH.... i bet they could benefit from those latte sipping fuckers paying an extra $150 each month on their electric bill.
