Rising electric bills become political problem for Trump, GOP

[bongsaway]

While on the campaign trail, Trump promised to bring down electricity prices. “Under my leadership, the United States will commit to the ambitious goal of slashing energy and electricity prices by half, at least,” he said at a rally last year. “We intend to slash prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months.”

Rising power prices are becoming a political liability for Republicans as electricity costs outpace inflation.

A recent Consumer Price Index report found electricity prices were rising at double the rate of inflation, having increased 5.5 percent over the past year.

This is another example of the gop 'governing', like it? And you thought the Biden economy was bad, trump has done nothing but cause prices to increase and we are paying for it.

No, higher and higher electric bills are a consequence of government-regulated monopolies combined with Gaia worship.

Well, regardless, Crooked donnie promised to slash those prices in half.

Crooked donnie: FAIL.

Much like the big promises on gasoline, prices been rising steadily in my area.

I don’t think this will be a problem for Trump. Remember, his cult members will blame it all on Democrats anyway. Just look at @aociswundumho’s post for proof of this.

They're an immediate problem for workers.

We don't care what the reasons are. We care that Donnie-2-Dolls lied to the voters to get himself elected. His entire life is one big lie. And the GOP is enabling it.

 

[aociswundumho]

We don't care what the reasons are.

Then it becomes impossible to fix the problem.

Wait, you're using our electric grid?

 

[Blue Dog]

It makes no difference if too many people are yellow dog Republican voters….

I just don't understand why a rugged libertarian is even using our electric grid.

 

[Greenbeard]

Blocking all those energy projects is going to come back to haunt the GOP.

 

[The AntiDonald]

When we elect someone who cares, we'll dive deeper into the reasons. You cannot expect a grifting callus billionaire to care about our electric prices.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Don't ya know, libertarians want NO government services. Build their own roads, their own police depts, their own power grids.

I seldom argue with that lot as the ignorance of their position is so easily taken apart.

 

[Callen]

When will Americans wake up to their energy problems? I can't help but reflect back on some posters here who claim manufacturing your own aluminum is doable. Given your energy infrastructure it definitely is not......and with AI it's only going to get worse. Clean energy is not a bad thing.......get out of your caves Trumpers.

No worries we have lots we can "share".

Republicans ignores both the economic opportunities with renewable energy and the urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions. Thereby hurting also their own voters.

The global switch to renewable energy has passed a “positive tipping point”, according to two United Nations reports released on Tuesday.

How cheap solar power could have arrived decades ago

If there’s a good news climate change story right now, one to counteract the grim daily scroll of reports about wildfires, droughts, dying coral reefs, and deadly heatwaves, it’s the stunning rise of solar power.

That would require self awareness and a spine, both of which are lacking.

If approved by the Arizona Commission electric rates are about to go up by an average of $20/month for homeowners. APS and SRP both have submitted requests to raise rates.

I took Trump's campaign statement of reducing energy cost by half as pure bs. If anyone fell for it, that is on them.
