In the richest country in the world:
Almost 16% of New York homes – one in six Con Edison residential customers – were behind on their energy bills at the end of 2024, with debts totaling $948m, according to data submitted by the utility to the state regulator.
Nationwide, an estimated one in three households experience energy poverty – the inability to access sufficient amounts of electricity and other energy sources due to financial hardship. Low-income households, people of color and states with the fewest social safety nets are disproportionately affected, and millions of families are regularly forced to ration food, medicines, energy and other essentials
The utillity Con Ed made $1.82B net profit on $15.26B of revenue. A margin of about 12%. It's a private, publicly traded, investor owned monopoly, like many other utilities in North America.
And then some wonder why people like Zohran and cheer Luigi.

Right on track to have no customers left at that rate. Same thing happening in so many other sectors too. Child rapist rump on track running the us into the ground due to being more stupid than a rutabaga.
