It seems like there’s been a growing awareness of the role that Canada plays in supplying electricity to several states in the U.S., particularly in New England.
Many might not realize how intertwined the energy systems are between the two countries, especially when you consider that Canada has been exporting power to regions like New York, the Upper Midwest, and New England for over a century.
With the possibility of tariffs on imports from Canada, the stakes have certainly risen.
The idea of Canada potentially retaliating by cutting off electricity supply to states like Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont could be a significant move that would have real consequences on energy prices and availability.
It’s interesting how global politics around trade can impact everyday utilities.
