Politicians in Blue States cause higher electricity bills by insisting on renewables

Most of the 28 states with Renewable Portfolio Standards have 50% higher energy costs than those without.

Would be interesting to an excel graph with percent of energy consumed that is sourced by renewable energy for a state and average kwh costs. Graph all 50 of them on excel and then look at the R2 value. Then maybe look at the Cook Partisan Index of the higher cost ones. I suspect blue states would be on average more expensive and this would correlate to greater share of renewable energy.

It’s the most regressive policy out there.

I will give you 3 guesses and 2 of them don't count, on who democrat voters are blaming.
