Household electricity bills have increased by 10% since Donald Trump re-entered the White House

[Hafar1014]

Sure. But like 5 orders of magnitude less energy dense.
It certainly has its applications.

Eventually modular nuclear reactors will supply all or most energy. Until then we need reliable energy and thats not wind or solar

Electric Bills Are Up 10% So Far This Year—Why They Could Keep Getting Costlier​

Topline​

Electricity bills have increased almost 10% since the start of the year and could rise another $170 per year for households by 2035 thanks to the repeal of clean energy tax credits, new tariffs and rapid expansion of electricity-hungry data centers to fuel a boom in artificial intelligence, multiple reports have shown.
Electricity Prices Are Rising Thanks To Tariffs, Clean Energy Cuts, AI

If the government stops handing out tax dollars for more expensive, less reliable energy, will energy prices rise?

What if the government ends stupid regulations to phase out fossil fuels?
Will that make prices rise?

I've definitely seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that we're going to see some lousy numbers. But ya never know. There's always a lot of conflicting currents. For example, inflation could spike in some areas and decline in others.

And now, if people are going to lose their jobs over reporting poor numbers, this could get even MORE complicated.

Truth.

 

[JGalt]

were i live it doesnt matter who is president.....in the summer time bills are up.....they come down nicely for the winter.....

I don't see that 10% figure. I compared an electric bill from August 2024 to the current one, and this is what I found: The rate per kWh was 6.4% higher today, than it was in August of 2024. But that's natural. Electricity rates have always increased yearly, regardless of the fact that we're using more "green energy" sources.

The main increase was this year's usage, compared to August of 2024. That was a 21% increase, due to the warmer than usual Summer we've been having.

Trust the science, you must.

Number of people proposing to run the country on just wind turbines - ZERO

What you gonna use when you ban oil and gas?

i live in CT & we have electric heat. thankfully we also have a wood stove & have never paid for a stick of wood. howeverrrrrrrrr.... our state at least is competative & we can choose our supplier. the particular one we have is 100% green energy & they are actially a bit lower than the standard eversource corp.

the more green energy is available, the cheaper it will get more & more.

duh & doy.

10%?

Your link is lying, or they suck at math.

From your link:

Jan per kwh: 13.11

May: 13.77

Where is the 10%, Simp.

 

[Man With A Plan]

There was no answer, so I'll ask again:

Trump promissed to lower prices but they have gone up and his policies are contributing to the increases.

Which part of that is not true?

I'm curious, Anton...how long do you think it takes to increase production of oil and natural gas?

People lose their job for reporting wrong numbers, Simp.

Key Facts​

Residential electricity bills have increased by almost 10% since President Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as president, according to data from the Energy Information Administration, rising from 15.95 cents per kilowatthour in January to 17.47 cents in May, the latest data available.
The cost of electricity has risen 5.5% over the last 12 months, according to the latest consumer price index data, almost twice as much as the overall cost of living (up 2.7%).
Trump has repeatedly promised to lower utility bills, but multiple reports released this summer blame his moves imposing new tariffs, cutting clean energy sources and supporting the expansion of data centers as reasons for the spikes in price.

I did a calculation once, of what it would take for the US to sustain JUST converting all vehicles to electric, using wind turbines. If the numbers i got were accurate, it showed that the number of wind turbines needed just to charge electric vehicles would be enough to cover 50% of the land mass of the united states, and thats not including energy needed for everything else.

The result was, that while wind and solar is great because it's "free" energy, its just that the amount of energy they produce is inadequate to power the country.

We would need to at least quadruple the amount of power each wind turbine put out to be able to use them large scale.

Nuclear and coal are our only main options right now

The other issue is the how these massive wind, and solar farms change the climate directly around them, and how it changes weather patterns further away, by changing temp and wind current directly around them!

while gas prices rose by 8% over the same period."

That is not even close to being true. Uninformed leftists think opinions are facts. And the article quoted above is not worth the effort to read if you quoted it correctly.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 30, 2024)—The national average for a gallon of gasoline has fallen by a nickel since last week to $3.56, the largest one-week drop thus far for 2024. The primary reasons are tepid demand and a lower oil price.

and

WASHINGTON, DC (May 29, 2025) – With crude oil prices lingering in the low $60s per barrel, drivers are reaping the benefits at the pump. The national average is down about 3 cents from last week, returning to what it was a month ago: $3.16

dimocrap scum want us to defeat Russia. So we're putting sanctions on Countries that buy Russian oil because the Russians use that money to finance their War of Aggression in Ukraine.

Therefore, we have to supply, we have to make up for what Countries used to get from Russia with our own oil. Which drives the cost of oil up. (When I say 'Oil' LNG is the biggest component for energy prices)

There is no making dimocrap scum happy. Their entire existence is based on misery, complaining, blaming, unhappiness, hatred and being general scumbags.

the dimocrap scum party has nothing. As can be exemplified by the emptiness of the threads started in here by their mentally disturbed cultists.

I'm waiting for a Jonestown type of event because.... That's what Dooms Day Cultists do when their backs are up against a wall.
