Household electricity bills have already shot up nearly 10% since Trump took office, and a study by Climate Power and Energy Innovation warns they could climb even higher if his policies keep gutting clean energy.
When Trump takes money away from clean energy, it means fewer wind turbines, solar panels, and energy-saving programs get built. That makes us keep using more expensive old stuff, like coal and gas, which cost more to run when fuel prices go up. With less cheap clean energy in the mix, power companies have to charge you more for the electricity coming into your house...so your bill gets bigger.
