Madeline Murphy remembers the instructions she was given on the set of “Jumanji” when she was an extra some 30 years ago: “Pretend you’re frightened and you’re screaming because an elephant’s coming after you.”So, that’s what she did in the Central Square of Keene, New Hampshire, running back and forth, over and over, on a long day in November 1994.“I was pretty tired by the end of the day, and it was cold,” said Murphy, 61. She got a check for $60.47 — and several seconds of screen time. Murphy was one of about 125 extras cast in the classic Robin Williams film, which is marking its 30th anniversary. It has spawned several sequels, including one planned for next year. The city of about 23,000 people in the southwestern corner of the state is celebrating its ties to “Jumanji” this weekend.The festivities include a parade, scavenger hunt and a “Rhino Rumble Road Race” saluting the film’s stampede scenes of elephants, rhinos and zebras. Runners in inflatable animal costumes sprinted about a quarter mile (less than half a kilometer) around the square Saturday.Juniper Thurston and her daughters Elska and Madison Christgau wore rhino costumes, which they said were difficult to run in but better ventilated than expected. Thurston, who lives in nearby Hancock, was 13 when “Jumanji” was filmed, and she remembers visiting Keene to watch her friends perform as extras.“It was literally right here — it was amazing,” Thurston said. “It was just wild, and to be here today and be able to have a small part our own stampede is kind of awesome.”Elska Christgau, 9, said everyone in her family loves the film, and that her favorite part is “the mystery and the Jumanji game” itself.Crowds dressed in inflatable costumes participate in the ‘Rhino Rumble Road Race’ to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film ‘Jumanji’ in downtown Keene, N.H. on Saturday, June 21, 2025. (AP Photo/Leah Willingham)Keene gets picked thanks to coffee cravingBased on the 1981 children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg about a mysterious jungle adventure board game, the movie version of “Jumanji” is set in the fictional small town of Brantford, New Hampshire.Veteran location manager Dow Griffith was crisscrossing New England in search of the right spot. A coffee lover who grew up in Seattle, he recalled feeling desperate one day for a good brew. He was a bit east of Keene at the time, and someone suggested a shop that was near the square. “I took my cherished cup of double dry cappuccino out to the front porch, took a sip, looked to my left — and by God — there was the place I had been looking for!” he told The Associated Press. “So really, we have coffee to thank for the whole thing.” Scenes were filmed at the square that fall and the following spring. The fall scenes show a present-day town that had declined. Extras played homeless people and looters, in addition to panicked runners fleeing from the jungle animals.Joanne Hof, now 78, had needed her son’s help to spot herself behind the elephants, running with her hands up. Hof, a reading specialist, bought a videotape of “Jumanji” and showed it to the kids she worked with. “They were very impressed that I was in the movie,” she said. The spring scenes, appearing early in the film, depict the town in 1969. Extras drove classic cars around the pristine-looking square and others walked around, dressed for that time period. “I told the makeup person, ‘Do you know how to do a French twist?’” recalled Kate Beetle, 74, of Alstead, who said she can be seen for “a microsecond” crossing a street. “They just found me the right lady’s suit and right flat shoes, and then the hair is kind of what I suspect did it.” The city helped transform itselfThe “Jumanji” crews worked well with the city in getting the permits to transform Central Square into a dilapidated, neglected piece of public property, recalled Patty Little, who recently retired as Keene’s clerk. “They brought in old, dead shrubbery and threw it around and made the paint peel on the gazebo,” she said. Items such as parking meters and lilac bushes were removed and a large Civil War-era statue was brought in to cover a fountain. Graffiti was on the walls, and crumpled vehicles in the stampede scene were anchored in place. Everything was restored, and fresh flowers were brought in the following spring, she said.

Little, whose classic 1961 Ambassador is caught on camera, could see everything happening from her office window.“Did I get a lot of work done? I don’t know during those days,” she said. Locals watch and meet Robin WilliamsA crowd turned out to watch a long-haired, bearded Williams run down the street in a leaf-adorned tunic. In the movie, he had just been freed from the game that had trapped him as a boy for years. “He’s shorter than I thought he was!” one viewer said, according to local chronicler Susan MacNeil’s book, “When Jumanji Came to Keene.” Others said, “He has great legs — muscular, isn’t he? But so hairy!” and “Isn’t he freezing dressed like that?”The mayor honored him with a key to the city. Williams, noticing the mayor was a bit shorter, suddenly announced at the presentation, “’I am the mayor of Munchkinland,’ ” with a voice to match, City Councilor Randy Filiault recalled. He stayed in character for 15 to 20 minutes, “just bouncing off the walls,” approaching people in the audience and pulling their hats over their eyes. Eventually, he stopped, ending with a solemn “Thank you,” Filiault said.“I am really seeing something cool here,” Filiault remembered thinking. “How fortunate we were.”When Williams died by suicide in 2014, people left flowers and photos beneath a painted “Parrish Shoes” wall sign advertising a fictional business left over from “Jumanji.” Former Keene police officer Joe Collins, who was assigned to watch over then-child actors Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce, also died by suicide, last year. Festival organizers planned a discussion about mental health and suicide prevention to pay tribute to Williams and Collins.“I think Robin would have been impressed with that,” said Murphy, who met Williams and shook his hand.
The Blaine Festival is taking place from June 27-29 with various activities, live music, and traditional events.

How Housing Bubble #2 Bursts? Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,Corporate / private equity / STVR investors are all fair-weather owners of housing.Let's indulge in some basic logic:1. All credit-asset bubbles burst.2. U.S. housing is a credit-asset bubble.3. The U.S. housing bubble will burst.The only variables are how and when Housing Bubble #2 will burst. That's today's topic.I've been writing about housing since 2005, as Housing Bubble #1 was inflating. I've participated in / observed housing rising sharply in the late 1970s and the late 1980s, followed by deflation / stagnation. Housing Bubble #1--circa 2003-2008--was characterized by all the classic signs of a mania:1. Participants denied it was a bubble. When greed displaces prudence, this isn't a bubble doomed to pop, it's the New Normal.2. Fraud, malfeasance, misrepresentation, speculation and leverage were all rampant. In the euphoric ascent to ever higher valuations, why let foolish little things like income, risk management and credit ratings stand in the way of reaping more profits?Housing Bubble #2 has rolled over into the decline phase, but this is discounted by the consensus which holds that higher mortgage rates dented the market; once they drop a bit, housing will resume its ascent to ever-higher valuations.I see a different set of dynamics in play:1. The 40+ year cycle of interest rates / bond yields has turned. Rates will not go back to zero and stay flatlined for years. Risk and inflationary forces have changed and are not returning to The Great Moderation.2. The Federal Reserve / federal government effectively nationalized the mortgage industry post-2009 Global Financial Meltdown as the means to stop the decline of housing valuations and re-inflate them via super-low mortgage rates. The Fed bought a staggering $1.2 trillion of mortgage-backed securities in 2009-2010, up from zero--a monumental manipulation of the mortgage market that soon exceeded $1.6 trillion.How the housing/mortgage market managed to survive without Fed nationalization prior to 2009 remains a mystery.For its part, the federal government effectively nationalized the quasi-governmental mortgage agencies (Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac), using these agencies to guarantee most mortgages in the U.S.3. The incentive (lower mortgage rates) to commit fraud by claiming to be an owner-occupant rather than an investor has pushed mortgage fraud to levels that Federal Reserve researchers declare "rampant." Owner-Occupancy Fraud and Mortgage Performance (A 46-page PDF report is available on this link.)The study's authors found that "in most years, fraudulent investors make up roughly one-third of the total pool of investors." Fraud rates in excess of 13% were found in some states states.The frenzy to buy and convert houses to short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) took off in the post-pandemic "revenge travel" boom. Corporate purchases of houses as rental properties had taken off in the post-2009 era of mass foreclosures, a trend that accelerated as private equity sought new markets to exploit.Combine corporate / private-equity buyers with small investors flooding into STVRs and the post-pandemic panic-buying frenzy, and it's little wonder that investors--declared and fraudulent, large and small--now own huge swaths of housing in the U.S.:Investors Bought 26% of the Country's Most Affordable Homes in the Fourth Quarter--the Highest Share on RecordAn estimated 26% of Fort Worth's single family homes are owned by companies, city says(Yes, family trusts and households can own housing as LLCs, but the study linked above paid no attention to the type of ownership; it paid attention to A) if the owners have multiple first liens, and B) whether they moved following the origination of their new purchase mortgage or not.)4. The risks created by this preponderance of investor ownership are high. The Federal Reserve researchers found that fraudulent investors pose a much higher risk of default than declared investors and real owner-occupants.As "revenge travel" shrivels up, property taxes and insurance rise and inflation ravages household budgets, STVRs are quickly shifting from income-producing assets to loss-generating liabilities. Investors either sell before they're under-water or the risk of default rises accordingly.Professionally managed corporate and private-equity owners will start unloading properties as rents sag and vacancies rise. STVR owners who realize the tide has reversed will also rush to sell before the price slide gathers momentum.Let's look at some charts for context. Here is a chart of total housing units. Confounding the conventional narrative of a "housing shortage," the U.S. added 7.6 million housing units in the five years 2020-2025, a rate far higher than the 8.6 million units added over 10 years 2010-2020.Here is a chart of owner-occupied housing. Note that the number of owner-occupied homes was flatlined for 12 years--from 2005 to 2016. Then it suddenly leaps up by 10 million in a few years--from 76 million to 86 million. Did 10 million households all win the lottery, or is the bulk of this astounding increase the result of fraudulent investors posing as owner-occupant buyers?This map shows the extent of investor mortgage -fraud.This chart of Federal Reserve ownership of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) overlays neatly with each leap higher in valuations. Pump "free money" into the financial system and keep rates at historic lows, and voila, you can inflate a bubble for the ages.The post-pandemic buying frenzy pushed the cost per square foot of houses listed for sale up 57%.Unsurprisingly, this bubble pushed housing affordability to record lows.The Case-Shiller Index offers a long-term view of how far valuations could drop once the bubble bursts. A 40% decline would be the norm, and a 50% drop would be well within the typical range of bubbles bursting.The Fed's mass manipulation of mortgage rates in 2010 "saved" Bubble #1 from playing out in a free-market manner, but the Fed won't be able to engineer an equivalent "save" this time around, as the mortgage market has already been nationalized and the Fed already owns a stupendous $2.1 trillion of MBS.Corporate / private equity / STVR investors are all fair-weather owners of housing. Once the profits shrink or reverse into losses, investors push the "sell" button. And since housing is priced on the margins, it only takes a handful of get-me-out sales to push valuations down 10%, then 20%, then 30% and eventually to a bottom between 40% anf 50%.This vulnerability to the collapse of valuations is the bitter fruit of the Fed's manipulation of rates and mortgages over the past 16 years. We love a "free market" when rapidly expanding credit inflates a bubble, but oh dearie-dearie me, we have to stop the "free market" from operating if it bursts the bubble.Here's how Housing Bubble #2 bursts: buyers of overvalued, money-losing properties vanish, those who waited too long sink underwater (sales prices are lower than what they paid), marginal investors default, owner-occupants who lose their jobs sell or default, private equity realizes their losses will only increase the longer they hold off selling, and the momentum of sellers far outnumbering buyers cascades.Greed is replaced by fear, and then by the realization it's too late to exit without losses. This is how bubbles burst.* * *Become a $3/month patron of my work via patreon.com. Subscribe to my Substack for free Tyler DurdenSat, 06/21/2025 - 10:30

iOS 26 is gaining two new Wi-Fi Features, including Captive Assist and Wi-Fi Aware.MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris discovered a reference to Captive Assist within the code for the first iOS 26 developer beta, but Apple has yet to enable the feature. It should be available by the time the software update is released later this year.In his Power On newsletter last month, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that Apple was working on a feature that would sync captive Wi-Fi network sign-in information across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This means that if you are asked to fill out a web form on one Apple device before connecting to a public Wi-Fi network at a hotel, airport, or coffee shop, that information would automatically be shared with your other Apple devices.Ultimately, this Captive Assist feature will make connecting to public Wi-Fi networks more convenient across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe.Next, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 add support for Wi-Fi Aware, which is essentially the industry-standard equivalent of the Apple Wireless Direct Link technology behind AirDrop and AirPlay. Apple is making a Wi-Fi Aware framework available to developers, allowing for App Store apps to offer peer-to-peer connections between Wi-Fi devices, without an internet connection or access point. Wi-Fi Aware will allow for third-party apps to offer new built-in features for high-speed file transfers, media streaming, screen sharing, and more.Apple was required to support Wi-Fi Aware on the iPhone and iPad in the EU, under the terms of the Digital Markets Act. In fact, the European Commission specifically stated that iOS and iPadOS must allow for AirDrop and AirPlay alternatives by the end of next year. As noted by 9to5Mac, the Wi-Fi Aware framework seems to satisfy those requirements. Apple has actually gone a step further by making the Wi-Fi Aware framework available worldwide.Apple says the following devices support the Wi-Fi Aware framework: iPhone 12 and later iPad (10th generation) and later iPad mini (6th generation) and later iPad Air (4th generation) and later iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation) and later iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) and laterFollowing beta testing, iOS 26 will likely be released in September.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Tags: AirDrop, AirPlay, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi AwareRelated Forum: iOS 26This article, "iOS 26 Adding Two New Wi-Fi Features, Allows AirDrop and AirPlay Alternatives" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The Real National Emergency: Endless Wars, Failing Infrastructure, & A Dying Republic Authored by John Whitehead and Nisha Whitegead via The Rutherford Institute,“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”- President Dwight D. Eisenhower (April 16, 1953)Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the cost of a military-industrial complex, America is still stealing from its own people to fund a global empire.In 2025 alone, the U.S. has launched airstrikes in Yemen (Operation Rough Rider), bombed Houthi-controlled ports and radar installations (killing scores of civilians), deployed greater numbers of troops and multiple aircraft carriers to the Middle East, and edged closer to direct war with Iran in support of Israel’s escalating conflict.Each of these “new” fronts has been sold to the public as national defense. In truth, they are the latest outposts in a decades-long campaign of empire maintenance—one that lines the pockets of defense contractors while schools crumble, bridges collapse, and veterans sleep on the streets at home.This isn’t about national defense. This is empire maintenance.It’s about preserving a military-industrial complex that profits from endless war, global policing, and foreign occupations—while the nation’s infrastructure rots and its people are neglected.The United States has spent much of the past half-century policing the globe, occupying other countries, and waging endless wars.What most Americans fail to recognize is that these ongoing wars have little to do with keeping the country safe and everything to do with propping up a military-industrial complex that has its sights set on world domination.War has become a huge money-making venture, and the U.S. government, with its vast military empire, is one of its best buyers and sellers.America’s role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has already cost taxpayers more than $112 billion.And now, the price of empire is rising again.Clearly, it’s time for the U.S. government to stop policing the globe.The U.S. military reportedly has more than 1.3 million men and women on active duty, with more than 200,000 of them stationed overseas in nearly every country in the world.American troops are stationed in Somalia, Iraq and Syria. In Germany, South Korea and Japan. In Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Oman. In Niger, Chad and Mali. In Turkey, the Philippines, and northern Australia.Those numbers are likely significantly higher in keeping with the Pentagon’s policy of not fully disclosing where and how many troops are deployed for the sake of “operational security and denying the enemy any advantage.” As investigative journalist David Vine explains, “Although few Americans realize it, the United States likely has more bases in foreign lands than any other people, nation, or empire in history.”Incredibly, America’s military forces aren’t being deployed abroad to protect our freedoms here at home. Rather, they’re being used to guard oil fields, build foreign infrastructure and protect the financial interests of the corporate elite. In fact, the United States military spends about $81 billion a year just to protect oil supplies around the world.America’s military empire spans nearly 800 bases in 160 countries, operated at a cost of more than $156 billion annually. As Vine reports, “Even US military resorts and recreation areas in places like the Bavarian Alps and Seoul, South Korea, are bases of a kind. Worldwide, the military runs more than 170 golf courses.”This is how a military empire occupies the globe.For 20 years, the U.S. war machine propped up Afghanistan to the tune of trillions of dollars and thousands of lives lost. When troops left Afghanistan, the military-industrial complex simply shifted theaters—turning Yemen, Iran, and the Red Sea into new frontlines.Each new conflict is marketed as national defense. In reality, it’s business as usual for the Pentagon's global footprint, with American soldiers used as pawns in the government's endless quest to control global markets, prop up foreign regimes, and secure oil, data, and strategic ports—all while being told it’s for liberty.This is how the military-industrial complex, aided and abetted by the likes of Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and others, continues to get rich at taxpayer expense.Yet while the rationale may keep changing for why American military forces are policing the globe, these wars abroad aren’t making America—or the rest of the world—any safer, are certainly not making America great again, and are undeniably digging the U.S. deeper into debt.War spending is bankrupting America.Although the U.S. constitutes only 5% of the world's population, America boasts almost 50% of the world's total military expenditure, spending more on the military than the next 19 biggest spending nations combined.In fact, the Pentagon spends more on war than all 50 states combined spend on health, education, welfare, and safety.The American military-industrial complex has erected an empire unsurpassed in history in its breadth and scope, one dedicated to conducting perpetual warfare throughout the earth.Since 2001, the U.S. government has spent more than $10 trillion waging its endless wars, much of it borrowed, much of it wasted, all of it paid for in blood and taxpayer dollars.Add Yemen and the Middle East escalations of 2025, and the final bill for future wars and military exercises waged around the globe will total in the tens of trillions.Co-opted by greedy defense contractors, corrupt politicians and incompetent government officials, America’s expanding military empire is bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $32 million per hour.In fact, the U.S. government spent more money every five seconds in Iraq than the average American earns in a year.Talk about fiscally irresponsible: the U.S. government is spending money it doesn’t have on a military empire it can’t afford.Even if we ended the government’s military meddling today and brought all of the troops home, it would take decades to pay down the price of these wars and get the government’s creditors off our backs.As investigative journalist Uri Friedman puts it, for more than 15 years now, the United States has been fighting terrorism with a credit card, “essentially bankrolling the wars with debt, in the form of purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds by U.S.-based entities like pension funds and state and local governments, and by countries like China and Japan.”War is not cheap, but it becomes outrageously costly when you factor in government incompetence, fraud, and greedy contractors. Indeed, a leading accounting firm concluded that one of the Pentagon’s largest agencies “can’t account for hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of spending.”Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t much better for the spending that can be tracked.A government audit found that defense contractor Boeing has been massively overcharging taxpayers for mundane parts, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in overspending. As the report noted, the American taxpayer paid:$71 for a metal pin that should cost just 4 cents; $644.75 for a small gear smaller than a dime that sells for $12.51: more than a 5,100 percent increase in price. $1,678.61 for another tiny part, also smaller than a dime, that could have been bought within DoD for $7.71: a 21,000 percent increase. $71.01 for a straight, thin metal pin that DoD had on hand, unused by the tens of thousands, for 4 cents: an increase of over 177,000 percent.The fact that such price gouging has become an accepted form of corruption within the American military empire is a sad statement on how little control “we the people” have over our runaway government.Mind you, this isn’t just corrupt behavior. It’s deadly, downright immoral behavior.Americans have thus far allowed themselves to be spoon-fed a steady diet of pro-war propaganda that keeps them content to wave flags with patriotic fervor and less inclined to look too closely at the mounting body counts, the ruined lives, the ravaged countries, the blowback arising from ill-advised targeted-drone killings and bombing campaigns in foreign lands, or the transformation of our own homeland into a warzone.The bombing of Yemen’s Ras Isa port by U.S. forces—killing more than 80 civilians—is just the latest example of war crimes justified as national interest.That needs to change.The U.S. government is not making the world any safer. It’s making the world more dangerous. It is estimated that the U.S. military drops a bomb somewhere in the world every 12 minutes. Since 9/11, the United States government has directly contributed to the deaths of around 500,000 human beings. Every one of those deaths was paid for with taxpayer funds.With the 2025 escalation, those numbers will only rise.The U.S. government is not making America any safer. It’s exposing American citizens to alarming levels of blowback, a CIA term referring to the unintended consequences of the U.S. government’s international activities. Chalmers Johnson, a former CIA consultant, repeatedly warned that America’s use of its military to gain power over the global economy would result in devastating blowback.The 9/11 attacks were blowback. The Boston Marathon Bombing was blowback. The attempted Times Square bomber was blowback. The Fort Hood shooter, a major in the U.S. Army, was blowback.The U.S. military’s ongoing drone strikes will, I fear, spur yet more blowback against the American people.The war hawks’ militarization of America—bringing home the spoils of war (the military tanks, grenade launchers, Kevlar helmets, assault rifles, gas masks, ammunition, battering rams, night vision binoculars, etc.) and handing them over to local police, thereby turning America into a battlefield—is also blowback.James Madison was right: “No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” As Madison explained, “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes... known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.”We are seeing this play out before our eyes.The government is destabilizing the economy, destroying the national infrastructure through neglect and a lack of resources, and turning taxpayer dollars into blood money with its endless wars, drone strikes and mounting death tolls.The nation’s infrastructure is in shambles. Public schools are underfunded. Mental health care is collapsing. Basic needs like housing, transportation, and clean water go unmet. Meanwhile, government contractors drop bombs on third-world villages and call it strategy.This isn’t just bad budgeting. It’s moral bankruptcy. A country that can’t care for its own people has no business policing the rest of the world.Bridges collapse, water systems fail, students drown in debt, and veterans sleep on the streets—while the Pentagon builds runways in the desert and funds proxy wars no one can explain.Clearly, our national priorities are in desperate need of overhauling.We are funding our own collapse. The roads rot while military convoys roll. The power grid fails while the drones fly. Our national strength is being siphoned off to feed a war machine that produces nothing but death, debt, and dysfunction.We don’t need another war. We need a resurrection of the republic.It’s time to stop policing the world. Bring the troops home. Shut down the military bases. End the covert wars. Slash the Pentagon’s budget. The path to peace begins with a full retreat from empire.At the height of its power, even the mighty Roman Empire could not stare down a collapsing economy and a burgeoning military. Prolonged periods of war and false economic prosperity largely led to its demise. As historian Chalmers Johnson predicts:The fate of previous democratic empires suggests that such a conflict is unsustainable and will be resolved in one of two ways. Rome attempted to keep its empire and lost its democracy. Britain chose to remain democratic and in the process let go its empire. Intentionally or not, the people of the United States already are well embarked upon the course of non-democratic empire.This is the “unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex” that President Dwight Eisenhower warned us not to let endanger our liberties or democratic processes.Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, was alarmed by the rise of the profit-driven war machine that emerged following the war—one that, in order to perpetuate itself, would have to keep waging war.We failed to heed his warning.As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, war is the enemy of freedom.As long as America’s politicians continue to involve us in wars that bankrupt the nation, jeopardize our servicemen and women, increase the chances of terrorism and blowback domestically, and push the nation that much closer to eventual collapse, “we the people” will find ourselves in a perpetual state of tyranny.In the end, it’s not just the empire that falls. It’s the republic it hollowed out along the way.Views expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of ZeroHedge. Tyler DurdenFri, 06/20/2025 - 22:35

Electricity prices for households have risen quickly and are expected to outpace U.S. inflation in coming years, experts said. There are many supply and demand factors at play. Data centers are a major contributor to greater demand for electricity, while the U.S. also has an aging infrastructure for transmission and distribution of power, experts said. Electricity prices are rising quickly for U.S. households, even as overall inflation has cooled.Electricity prices rose 4.5% in the past year, according to the consumer price index for May 2025 — nearly double the inflation rate for all goods and services.The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimated in May that retail electricity prices would outpace inflation through 2026. Prices have already risen faster than the broad inflation rate since 2022, it said.“It’s a pretty simple story: It’s a story of supply and demand,” said David Hill, executive vice president of energy at the Bipartisan Policy Center and former general counsel at the U.S. Energy Department.There are many contributing factors, economists and energy experts said.At a high level, the growth in electricity demand and deactivation of power-generating facilities are outstripping the pace at which new electricity generation is being added to the electric grid, Hill said.Prices are regionalU.S. consumers spent an average of about $1,760 on electricity in 2023, according to the EIA, which cited federal data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Of course, cost can vary widely based on where consumers live and their electricity consumption. The average U.S. household paid about 17 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity in March 2025 — but ranged from a low of about 11 cents per kWh in North Dakota to about 41 cents per kWh in Hawaii, according to EIA data.Households in certain geographies will see their electric bills rise faster than those in others, experts said.Residential electricity prices in the Pacific, Middle Atlantic and New England regions — areas where consumers already pay much more per kilowatt-hour for electricity — could increase more than the national average, according to the EIA.“Electricity prices are regionally determined, not globally determined like oil prices,” said Joe Seydl, a senior markets economist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank.The EIA expects average retail electricity prices to increase 13% from 2022 through 2025.That means the average household’s annual electricity bill could rise about $219 in 2025 relative to 2022, to about $1,902 from $1,683, according to a CNBC analysis of federal data. That assumes their usage is unchanged.But prices for Pacific area households will rise 26% over that period, to more than 21 cents per kilowatt-hour, EIA estimates. Meanwhile, households in the West North Central region will see prices increase 8% in that period, to almost 11 cents per kWh.However, certain electricity trends are happening nationwide, not just regionally, experts said.Data centers are ‘energy hungry’Elijah Nouvelage | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe QTS data center complex under development in Fayetteville, Georgia, on Oct. 17, 2024.Electricity demand growth was “minimal” in recent decades due to increases in energy efficiency, according to Jennifer Curran, senior vice president of planning and operations at Midcontinent Independent System Operator, who testified at a House energy hearing in March. (MISO, a regional electric-grid operator, serves 45 million people across 15 states.)Meanwhile, U.S. “electrification” swelled via use of electronic devices, smart-home products and electric vehicles, Curran said.Now, demand is poised to surge in coming years, and data centers are a major contributor, experts said.Data centers are vast warehouses of computer servers and other IT equipment that power cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other tech applications.More from Personal Finance:How to protect financial assets amid immigration raids, deportation worriesGOP education plan may trigger ‘avalanche of student loan defaults’This credit card behavior is an under-the-radar riskData center electricity use tripled to 176 Terawatt-hours in the decade through 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Department. Use is projected to double or triple by 2028, the agency said.Data centers are expected to consume up to 12% of total U.S. electricity by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023, the Energy Department said.They’re “energy hungry,” Curran said. Demand growth has been “unexpected” and largely due to support for artificial intelligence, she said.The U.S. economy is set to consume more electricity in 2030 for processing data than for manufacturing all energy-intensive goods combined, including aluminum, steel, cement and chemicals, according to the International Energy Agency.Continued electrification among businesses and households is expected to raise electricity demand, too, experts said. The U.S. has moved away from fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas to reduce planet-warming greenhouse-gas emissions.For example, more households may use electric vehicles rather than gasoline-powered cars or electric heat pumps versus a gas furnace — which are more efficient technologies but raise overall demand on the electric grid, experts said.Population growth and cryptocurrency mining, another power-intensive activity, are also contributors, said BPC’s Hill.‘All about infrastructure’Thianchai Sitthikongsak | Moment | Getty ImagesAs electricity demand is rising, the U.S. is also having problems relative to transmission and distribution of power, said Seydl of J.P. Morgan.Rising electricity prices are “all about infrastructure at this point,” he said. “The grid is aged.”For example, transmission line growth is “stuck in a rut” and “way below” Energy Department targets for 2030 and 2035, Michael Cembalest, chairman of market and investment Strategy for J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management, wrote in a March energy report.Shortages of transformer equipment — which step voltages up and down across the U.S. grid — pose another obstacle, Cembalest wrote. Delivery times are about two to three years, up from about four to six weeks in 2019, he wrote.“Half of all US transformers are near the end of their useful lives and will need replacing, along with replacements in areas affected by hurricanes, floods and wildfires,” Cembalest wrote.Transformers and other transmission equipment have experienced the second highest inflation rate among all wholesale goods in the US since 2018, he wrote.Meanwhile, certain facilities like old fossil-fuel powered plants have been decommissioned and new energy capacity to replace it has been relatively slow to come online, said BPC’s Hill. There has also been inflation in prices for equipment and labor, so it costs more to build facilities, he said.

Lake Mead Is America's Deadliest National Park On April 13, Arizona Hot Springs and Goldstrike Trails in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area announced the closing of several trails after one death and the rescue of several hikers under extremely hot temperatures.The incident showcases the dangers that National Parks and similar wilderness areas pose to visitors, especially those who come underprepared. Unfortunately, as Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, events like this aren’t uncommon in U.S. National Parks and National Recreation Areas.You will find more infographics at StatistaAbout 19 people die each year at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which is popular for boating, tragically leading to drowning deaths also.Deaths in the area over the years have been a mix of drownings, boat and traffic accidents, medical problems, suicides and even homicides. The Grand Canyon National Park is seeing an average of 12 deaths a year, which can occur due to falls, medical problems, heat, traffic accidents and drowning, among others.National Parks data published by Panish Law shows that the two National Park Service locations between 2007 to 2024 received the questionable honor of being the nation's deadliest National Parks, followed by Yosemite National Park in California and Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina. In the former, climbing and hiking accidents play a bigger role, while in the latter, deaths are mainly chalked up to traffic accidents.At Golden Gate National Recreation Area, a high number of people die due to rip currents while swimming. Deaths involving the Golden Gate Bridge are excluded.The National Park Foundation suggests to do research before heading out to a park and check conditions and alerts. Visitors should also try and assess their physical limits realistically as well as those of their group. It also pays to have an emergency plan, not rely on cell phone reception, check gear thoroughly, stay together as a group, stay on designated trails and keep your distance from wildlife, the organization suggests.
