The idea hinges on the reliance of certain US regions on Canadian electricity. While the overall percentage of US electricity imports from Canada is small, the impact on specific states and regions could be considerable, leading to significant disruption and hardship. A sudden, substantial increase in electricity prices could trigger widespread economic and political fallout within the United States.… Continue reading
