What began in Baltimore, Maryland - as first covered in our reporting one year ago- has now spread to New Jersey, where residents are furious over skyrocketing electricity costs. > The common denominator in both states?

This has unleashed a power bill armageddon on working-class and middle-class households, as well as mom-and-pop businesses, all while baseload power demand surges in the era of AI data centers. > Fox News is beginning to latch onto the power bill crisis theme, starting with coverage of New Jersey residents who are absolutely furious over exploding power bills. This new development could severely damage the state's Democratic leaders in the upcoming elections.
