Not so fast – “Unintended Blue State consequences tend to spread to Red States. This is something to keep in mind when laughing over Blue State woes.”

if so, they imported the stuff from out of state

An example of one of those consequences: “Green states” demand for imported electricity drives up the price for their residents, but also those of the supplier states, too.

Pennsylvania Saves “Clean Energy” Maryland from Spanish-Style Blackout during “Heat Dome”

Meanwhile, clean energy policies in Maryland contribute to rising electricity prices in Pennsylvania.

… Maryland has set ambitious clean energy goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a more sustainable energy future. Central to these efforts is the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which requires electricity suppliers to source 50% of their power from renewable resources by 2030. Recent updates to the RPS exclude trash incineration from qualifying as renewable, ensuring only zero-emission technologies contribute to the state’s targets.

To further advance its climate commitments, Maryland enacted the Climate Solutions Now Act, aiming for a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2031 and net zero emissions by 2045. The state is also moving toward a Clean Power Standard, which would require all electricity consumed in Maryland to come from clean and renewable sources by 2035.….

Unfortunately for Red States exporting energy, they are connected to the grid of the energy deficient regions ruled by climate cultists. Electricity costs are rising for residents throughout Pennsylvania, with the average household potentially facing an increase of $20 to $30 on their bills. Several Pennsylvania legislators attribute these price hikes to what they describe as poor energy policies enacted in Maryland and neighboring states.

…As a whole, Maryland doesn’t generate enough power to keep the lights on itself. Instead, it’s relying on Pennsylvania and other states in the PJM grid for 40% of its electricity.

“Not only are we generating the power and bear the burden of generating power, but we bear the burden of eminent domain taking our land to build these high voltage transmission line projects. We also pay for that infrastructure in PA to get that energy to a place where people are refusing to do the right thing,” [York County Senator] Phillips-Hill said. “They’re living in a green energy fantasy land.”

This NYC resident looks at the even larger picture:

…. A lot of MAGA folks say, “They voted for it. Let ’em rot.”

Really? You think this is that simple?

Here’s the truth: Yes, a majority up here do vote blue. Yes, NGOs fund just enough swing voters. And YES, the GOP barely even showed up to fight back.

But even if we did cause this… even if we do deserve the consequences… Here’s the dangerous lie: That once things get bad enough, people will wake up and common sense will return to blue states.

WRONG. That’s not how Marxists operate. They don’t fix things when cities collapse—they celebrate it. They thrive in chaos. They’ll crawl through decades of pain, suffering, and bloodshed if it means consolidating power.

The LONG MARCH was long for a reason. They didn’t care how ling death and suffering continue. They feed off despair. …

So no—this won’t fix itself. And if we don’t fight for these cities, if we just sit back and let them burn, we’re not punishing the left. We’re surrendering America. One city at a time.

Life isn’t fair. These people who run the NGOs that rig elections don’t “get what they deserve”. They get away with literal murder and escape to Martha’s Vineyard to laugh at us.
