Power plants across the Eastern US are struggling as freezing temps choke off natural gas supplies—just when everyone’s cranking the heat. That means more outages, pricier energy, and a reminder to keep those flashlights handy. It’s a wake-up call for how fragile our grid can be when Mother Nature gets mean. #Business #Industry #WinterStorm00Share
Jerry Clark+FollowHow Extreme Cold Can Spike Your Gas BillEver wonder why your heating bill suddenly jumps during a deep freeze? This week’s Arctic blast froze up about 10% of U.S. natural gas production, just as everyone cranked up the heat. That means less gas to go around, so prices shoot up and some areas even face outages. The big takeaway: when the weather outside is frightful, your wallet might feel it too. Time to check those drafts and layer up! #Business #Industry #WinterStorm00Share
