Mayor Of Indiana City Claims Race Discrimination After Delayed Utility Repairs
If a group's entire world view is built on the notion that they are perpetual victims because of their race, every time something bad happens to them they are going to go looking for racism as the scapegoat. In other words, they are going to see "racism" under every rock and behind every tree. They will even see racism in a power outage.
When it come to the black community in the US, though, most of the bad things that happen in their neighborhoods are directly caused by their own behavior.
In mid-August a powerful windstorm hit northwest Indiana. Gusts reached around 99 mph in Gary, comparable to a Category 2 hurricane. The violent weather toppled trees onto lines, snapped hundreds of poles, and damaged transmission structures and substations.

New Jersey May Pay Home Battery Owners To Help Grid When Demand Surges
New Jersey officials are weighing a plan that would allow homeowners to use batteries as emergency energy backups and a way to earn extra money. Under the proposal, storage systems installed at customers' homes could join a virtual power plant program, helping the grid when electricity demand surges and paying participants for taking part.
On July 15, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities issued a straw proposal for a two-year, technology-neutral VPP. The state's electric distribution companies would oversee it, and it would need to launch no later than July 1, 2027 Utility Dive reported.
In its transitional form, the Cool Down notes that the program would cover customer-sited batteries as well as other distributed energy resources. Officials are also looking ahead to a market-based, open-access VPP tariff for 2029 and beyond. Where rules allow, participants could combine payments for local grid services with wholesa...

US-Canada Trade War Threatens Electricity Imports, Prices
By Robert Walton of UtilityDive
An escalating trade war between the United States and Canada is once again threatening to ensnare the electric power sector at a time when consumers are already stretched thin.
Canada is expected to announce retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods Tuesday after President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods went into effect over the weekend, with threats of more on the way.
On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford told the Associated Press that “everything is on the table,” including halting the province's critical minerals and electricity exports entirely. The BBC reported Ford said he and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed a 25% tariff on electricity to the U.S.
In 2025, amid a previous trade dispute, Ontario enacted a 25% tariff on power exports to the U.S. The two sides eased tensions shortly thereafter, and the tariff was eliminated a day after taking effect.
