Trump blames renewables for rising power bills; experts cite other causes. Energy analysts say renewable sources have little to do with recent price hikes. Natural gas prices, meanwhile, are rising sharply amid increased exports to Europe and other international customers.

  2. He canceled an 80% completed wind farm that will power 350,000 homes in New England. Billions invested and thousands of jobs.

  3. Well since he’s killed 25D and not approving any new utility scale renewables, prices will stop increasing, right? Right???

  6. Yes, because more supply increases prices. Fucking idiot.

    He should spend less time thinking about renewables and more time releasing the unedited Epstein files.

  7. I think, and bear with me through this, I may just be spitballing delusions, that TRUMP IS A LYING PIECE OF DHIT.

  8. I’m genuinely surprised more MAGAS haven’t realised that true energy security doesn’t come from limited energy in the ground, it comes from unlimited energy in the sky

  9. I wish media outlets would just ignore this troglodyte.

  10. Trump is a delusional, unknowledgeable clown of ignorance

  11. Trump is wrong every time he opens his mouth. To always know what is right, take anything he says and reverse it.

  16. You can’t get a cheaper source of energy than renewables and that is a proven fact.

  17. Trumpy is going to preside over rising energy prices (barring a recession) as world supply is getting more constrained..It’s going to fun to watch him explode!!

  19. Our utility hiked rates to improve returns for shareholders and recover the cost of natural gas facilities.

  20. What else do we expect from The Toddler-In-Chief. The man has at best a 3rd grade level grasp on mathematics.

  21. F-ing wind and sun jacked their prices. How are republicans sooo stupid.

  23. He needs to look in the mirror to see who’s to blame. And then look at his Oil and Gas buddies and Crypto Bros that have persuaded him to tear up a fully funded interstate transmission line and halt the installation of hundreds of Gigawatts of renewable power all the while getting him to say yes to the Crypto tech that burns far more energy than secure credit card transactions do today.

  24. I blame renewables too, as in I blame Trump for fucking over the solar and wind infrastructure momentum that we had going, thus leading to higher energy prices here in the Northeast just as AI data center buildouts are ramping

  25. “…and the moon is made of cheese, and Putin is a good guy, and everyone loves me, and I can do whatever I want, whaaaaa whaaaaa whaaaa….” How the F did we get here.

  27. The true dumb-dumbs are letting him set the narrative of higher energy costs, answering with layered, nuanced, facts that cannot fight simple disinformation.

  28. We know they aren’t really experts if they don’t agree with the administration, they are in the pocket of big renewable energy.

  29. He means to say that his war on renewables is the reason for the rising energy costs.
