New Yorkers are expressing their frustrations over proposed energy rate increases by Con Edison, a state-regulated company serving millions. With a proposed jump of 11.4% for electricity and 13.3% for gas, many residents are venting their disdain on social media and government platforms. Although the utility claims these hikes are necessary for clean energy investments, the majority of responses highlight the already soaring costs, leading to a dilemma of supporting renewable energy versus managing personal finances. This situation underscores the potential long-term challenge of persuading consumers to embrace green energy costs.
The backlash to the proposed rates illustrates the challenge of persuading New Yorkers to absorb the costs associated with transitioning to green energy.
