US Utilities Flunk Clean Energy, We Still Love Gas-fired Drama

In a shockingly unsurprising plot twist, major U.S. utilities just earned an F on their report card for being stubbornly old-fashioned, planning to build 'far too little' clean energy while doubling down on gas-fired power plants. Imagine giving your kid an F for turning in a paper full of outdated facts—except the utilities are the kid and America’s planet is the report card. No company names, no dollar amounts—just pure, unfiltered fossil fuel fan fiction. It's like the utilities are hosting a climate crisis party and forgot to invite renewable energy. If procrastination were an Olympic sport, Utilities USA would've snagged gold decades ago. Remember, inclusivity means celebrating every watt, even the gas kind!
