Thanks

 

[AntonToo]

you did the same thing...is that understandable?...

It wasn't same to me because I didn't know you couldn't read the article, so I wasn't being hypocritical.

Is this rocket science?

Prices go up under threat of restriction. Basic economic shit.
Democrats restrict future supply of fossil fuel. Obama and Biden consecutively.

It's going to take a while to recover from the Biden 4 year disaster. If Trump's policies don't significantly bring down high Biden caused prices, he will have trouble in 2026.

What is U.S. electricity generation by energy source?
In 2023, about 4,178 billion kilowatthours (kWh) (or about 4.18 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in the United States.1 About 60% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases. About 19% was from nuclear energy, and about 21% was from renewable energy sources.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that an additional 73.62 billion kWh of electricity generation was from small-scale solar photovoltaic systems in 2023.2

You’re arguing against yourself.

You could say the same about the big beautiful bill

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.

Trump tariffs and green energy rollbacks push household electricity bills up 10%

US energy secretary said energy prices could hurt GOP in midterms, but blamed Democrats for price increases

All of Trump's policies are inflationary.

He has not one policy that would or should lower the price of anything.

Except for lowering the value of the Dollar.

Trump blames renewable energy for rising electricity prices. Experts point elsewhere

President Donald Trump is blaming renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power for skyrocketing energy costs

We generate basically zero electricity from oil.

We generate basically zero electricity from oil.

And yet higher oil prices can raise electricity prices.

As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act

Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Tech’s energy-hungry data centers.

Cutting regulations should lower prices.

The rapid growth of cloud computing and artificial intelligence has fueled demand for energy-hungry data centers that need power to run servers, storage systems, networking equipment and cooling systems. Increased use of electric vehicles also has boosted demand, even as the Trump administration and congressional Republicans move to restrict tax credits and other incentives for EV purchases approved under the Biden administration

 

[Stuartbirdan2]

According to the so-called 'economists', tariffs were supposed to have crashed the economy, greatly escalated inflation, and swelled the deficit by now. None of that has happened. No only have billions and billions been pouring in to the U.S. treasury, but one by one trade deals are putting America on an equal and profitable footing with countries that have been exploiting us and taking advantage of us for many years.

No longer is America the world's patsy to give them free security, unfair (to us) trade, be their sugar daddy.

Trump promised during the 2024 campaign to lower Americans’ electric bills by 50%. Democrats have been quick to blame him for the price hikes, citing actions to hamstring clean energy in the sprawling tax-and-spending cut bill approved last month, as well as regulations since then to further restrict wind and solar power

They need reliable energy, not unreliable wind and solar.

Then there is that. But that can just transfer the cost of the negative effects to another line in the books. At a higher price for cleanup, as opposed to prevention, for example, with environmental regs.
