Because conservation cause them to make less money. Electricity shouldn't be for profit.

Prices are DOWN a little, after going UP UP UP UP under Trump.

It's all AfreakingI..

Just wait until Christmas kicks in.

Sheesh that woke socialist Canadian hydro renewable electricity is about US$ 0.085 per kWh by comparison here in British Columbia with our little Socialist NDP Government.

😡😡😡

Understanding The Future Way (TheFutureWay.com) of Energy: Innovations - The Clean Industrial Revolution has arrived... AND CANCELLED …Electricity Bills - increased almost 10% since the start of the year and could rise another $170 per year for by 2035 from the repeal of clean energy tax credits.

fuck

Hard to keep prices down when A.I. being subsidized by residential users.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Show this to Karoline Leavitt. I would love to hear her BS response.

No they are up up up

Yep. My bill went up quite a bit.

Yes mine too!

Didn’t Oval Smelly Felon say yesterday during the Yahtzee N. Korean styled Cabinet shindig that Energy prices have all come way down, along with groceries and “really cheap gas”? Not a single fact checked. The legacy media toss softball questions. The cruelty will come back on MAGAts one day-Karma.🇺🇸

🙌

Anyone stupid enough to believe trumps incessant vomiting lies deserves to pay the highest prices for everything, just because they are that gullible and stupid.

Rates are up because mandates for renewables necessitate double investment. First to meet the renewable mandate and then to meet baseload requirements at peak hour demand.

Get used to it!

Prices get higher and I make the same wage

and this is before Trumps promised to provide the EU with 800 BILLION DOLLARS worth of natural gas. The very same gas we need to operate our electric generating plants.....so much winning. The art of losing!

Going off grid is about to have new meaning

Thanks AI We lose our jobs. We pay more for electricity. We destroy our planet. But at least billionaire tech bros get more money to destroy our country.

Truth? What's that? "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." --1984

Electricity prices in LA aren't down. We have the bills to prove it.

they'll blame themselves for being poor. truly.

He’s a stupid liar.

so what do you think is going to happen when you stop solar and wind. not to mention selling all LPG gas as you possibly can. big time windfall for Trump’s buddies. it all about putting as much money in your pockets as you can.

CONGRESS & MEDIA: Call out the data as Trump's PROPOGANDA because when an autocrat fires those who disagree with "his" data, that is all that is left! STOP RATIONALIZING as if Trump has a "plan" and name the government stats for what they inevitably are now, PROPOGANDA.

How much of this is due to AI usage?

Funny how everyone lost their minds over egg prices, but now that energy bills are through the roof, it’s suddenly crickets. Guess breakfast outrage was easier than turning the lights on

And all the egg recalls... more crickets

Programs designed to help low income residence pay their energy bills are being eliminated. How many elderly, disabled, and working poor are going to freeze to death this winter?

Meanwhile, China doesn't have to listen to fossil fuel lobbyists. Trump ceded clean energy lead to China, forcing the US backwards in the race for renewable sources, dismantling wind farms. Those who voted for him should let him know their displeasure at constantly increasing prices for everything.

How the F do these people sleep at night? Ignorance really is bliss in this case.

Is it narcissism that prevents MAGA from admitting they were duped or are they too stupid to know they were duped? Maybe both.

They're not being told and they're not noticing for themselves in some cases. I guess they've taken their eyes off eggs and now it doesn't matter what anything costs, it was always Biden's fault and trump's fixing it is the main thing. They want to believe so they do

Huge power bills just in time for huge electricity use!

🇨🇦 this in Canadian funds.. just FYI

That’s right, conversion for non peak is .055 US per kWh to do 100 pounds of laundry cook meals, air conditioning, hot tub on, the entire long weekend! And every weekend in Canada 🇨🇦

My electric bill for a 4000 square foot house with pool and EV was $16. Going green has its benefits.

If you can afford that. The upfront unsubsized costs prohibit most from trying.

Many utilities, at least in California, have programs.

That's nice. There are none where I am.

Lying is an essential component of the Trump authoritarian agenda. In fact, lying has been an essential part of everything in Trump’s adult life.

Because we aren’t shooting the fucking profiteers!

They are absolutely not down

Maybe Dump meant he will “lower prices on day one” of 2028! Are we great yet?

There goes my disposal income. Are decreasing sales being offset by higher prices? You need to know that either sales are being reported because it can cover up a bad report.

what the @jdcmedlock.bsky.social said, no?

Is this inflation-adjusted or not?

Probably not. The jump happens in 2022. Regardless, they are still going up despite this administration’s claims otherwise.

Alice in Wonderland's song line "We're painting the roses red or the queen will have our head!" comes to mind.... Dept. of Energy jumping on the lying and deceitful propaganda bandwagon that the rest of his cabinet members utilize to kiss Trump's ass.

My electric provider just said our rates are going up almost 1.5 cents a KWH. that adds up in August in Houston.

So glad we got solar & batteries 3 years ago.

would have had panels long ago but i live in a condo complex with a shared roof.

Average Americans are paying for the expansion costs of energy companies so they can power data centers controlled by the richest men in history. They’d be pissed if they knew about it, but they’re blinded by republican slight-of-hand (DEI, transgender citizens, etc) and can’t see what’s happening.

I've done multiple commercial solar projects. If you are financing them they were cash flow positive at 12 cents per kilowatt hour at a 4.5% rate on a 25 year loan. We should have solar generation on every factory with a new roof in this country. Residential the math is tougher.

Between Rump sabotaging Clean Energy initiatives and the the ravenous appetite of Tech data centers for electricity, this will likely only get worse. Rump has seriously set the US back in Clean Energy progress and US citizens will pay the price.

My budget billing electric bill just went from $287 every month to $417 every mint just since January. Didn’t Trump promise lower electric bills along with lower grocery prices and half the car insurance payment? When will that be happening.

Dreading mine. My monthly bill rn is $243. Killing solar and wind is gonna kill us We're not poor but everyday there's a new cost so we feel like paupers. It's important to notice how people feel. A medical procedure no longer covered, a new tax (like tariffs), some notable gouging at the market.

Electric Bills Are Up 10% So Far This Year—Why They Could Keep Getting Costlier. Thank Trump. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

It’s in the plan for the most suffering to happen I demand that every property owned by Trump lose its power time to turn the table on the cunt

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My electric bill doubled from June to July and I am on a percentage plan.

They need to just stop, the gaslighting barely works for Felon Trump now!

Is MAGA really just that oblivious? Why aren’t they outraged about the rising costs of just about everything?

I saw a convo about this the other day. They think it’s all a part of fixing the country after Biden messed it up so badly. It’s gonna take time, etc. 🙄

They'll eat that crap up all the way to their graves. In Venezuela, Chavez kept saying he needed more time to fix the messes from ALL previous administrations. That went on for 14 years, until he died from cancer.

Just listened to a podcast with a fireworks vendor in a rural area in Kentucky or something, and he said this 4th of July was one of his best years ever, and he thinks it’s because people are feeling more optimistic about the economy under this administration. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Was that person huffing glue? They are definitely living in an alternate reality, one that fits the orange king’s narrative. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

That’s the problem - they all live in an alternate reality but based on facts, logic, data or truth… It used to be fringe but now it’s 1/3 of our country! 😡

Not sure where it all started, but defunding education and non-stop right-wing propaganda on Fox News and eventually on social media, helped along the way. It appears critical thinking is optional now. Never mind the nefarious Christo Fascists working behind the scenes since the Reagan years.

It’s certainly been a work in progress but you’re right, “news” turning into a propaganda machine and social media have definitely accelerated it… Has to be the biggest and most widely spread cult in the history of humanity

Every time I hear them talk (especially him) I feel a little dumber

Tbh every time I hear him talk, I’m reminded that there are sooo many people sooooo much dumber than me to buy into his bullshit. Like, how little do you have to understand about the world to think his tariff plan was the perfect solution that no other politician had ever thought of before? 🤦🏽‍♀️

How do they cope with the tariff plan being ruled illegal? Celebrate there are no more tariffs, which were costing them money, or swearing angrily bc 1) trump lost in court, and 2) now we can't pay down the debt like he wanted?

Ugh

Dumb asses

I think we’ve been tricked. The last POTUS candidate ran on cutting costs for EVERYTHING on 🌍. Some believed him and here we are.

Got our electric bill and compared it to last summer, same period. We used about 7% more kwh this year, but our bill went up 25%. Kinda yikes.

Electricity costs are estimated to double every 12 years with the AI driving data centers popping up and soaking up all our capacity. At the same time Trump is killing subsidies for solar and wind. BRILLIANT.

Every 12 years? My bill doubled from one month to the next. The rat bastards in the Ohio legislature gave Duke Energy the ok to raise rates here. Likely to support that damn data center. 🤬🤬

and while we're screwing around ramping up demand, I just saw an article that said in 10 years China will have more solar production capability than the entire US demand currently. I'm pretty sure they also outlawed bitcoin mining also to curb electric consumption. We're heading the wrong way.

don't believe the lies, and where's those Epstein Files?

There was just a big new story on the local television station about how much cheaper gas is this Labor Day in five years, it was $3.16 in 2021 and it’s $3.15 now big change there.

They are most certainly NOT.

This is something people know is false as they see it daily (like groceries). Not that maga will blame Trump policy but the feeling here in my purple suburb of Ohio was Dems were saying how great things were in 2024 and everyone felt it was false. I think it’ll backfire.

Going to get worse with the data centers going up. Welcome to the new age.

So much 🏆 winning…for the 🤑 rich

Sharpie, stat!

📌

That's because we're paying for data stations to run ai which does nothing to help us but make money for a few egotistical white men who wouldn't know how to wipe their own ass or cook a boxed mac and cheese if their life depended on it.

Think about retribution.

I was told utility prices, gasoline prices and groceries would be cheaper on Inauguration Day (January 20, 2025)

I was told if grocery and gas prices are high it's bc some blue state bozo gov has refused to stopped using wind and solar

Wow, what a handsome hunk of alpha male. Girls, check this one out.

It’s the pants.

my faith in this country goes DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN! each day.

Still disgusting to see ‘official’ US Department accounts being used like this for pure propaganda purposes.

Must be fake news. I was told energy prices would be cut in half within a year. youtu.be/lCV3LZZHnZU?...

After they went UP UP UP after he took office.

bring Back Biden

Perfect graph juxtaposed with DoE comment, to this administration up is down Lewis Carroll would have a field day with them

What is like to be a Trump 2024 voter, thinking he will lower your costs, and then you see this happening? EVERYTHING is more expensive and it is getting way way way worse. Just wait until companies start to actually pass through tariff costs to customers. Inflation is gonna pop off. MAGA?????

There's a whole sub dedicated to answering your question. Its glorious. www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAt...

But MAGA will swallow any pride they have left and suck up all of the extra costs in silence, as long as they can continue to be freely racist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. 😔

trump supporter who works with my husband says no price increase is too much to have trump in DC & getting rid of ‘illegals’, of course this man told him ‘woke liberals’ is why Cracker Barrel is changing their logo back, he blames Biden for coffee prices, reality doesn’t always enter their world

I've tried telling people over and over since 2017, that they LOVE Trump because he's just as disgusting as they are, and as criminal as they'd like to be. They envy and admire those who can get away with crime (just so long as they're white).

Sounds correct. My experience is they can’t be moved with any reason. They just parrot lies-like cult members.

👍

This is the hard truth just now dawning on people.

Electricity Is Becoming Unbelievably Expensive as the US Power Grid Decays Into Ruin

They keep rising and now they are taking away solar panel subsidies... Wake up America!

Pants on fire.

Why aren't utility companies charging a higher rate specifically for AI data centers which are causing utilities to build new infrastructure thus raising the costs for everyone?

They're often getting a lower rate that residential customers subsidize.

📌

Baloney

Hahahaha my utility in San Diego charges 28-42c/kwh depending on time of day. Literally off the chart.

Mine's been surprisingly cheap the past few months. We saw a nasty increase in like Jan-Feb (way over the usual winter spike) but I would honestly have to say I think my bill this summer is running at least 40% below what I would normally expect. Red state EMC.

That'll be like the inflation rate if Trumpzilla gets his way with the Fed. Just like Turkey.

Is this adjusted for inflation? Not sure it would matter but just curious. Chart mirrors some inflation charts that one could construct via pandemic inflation time

Maybe the Utility regulators might want to reconsider how they price electricity. There are diseconomies of scale at play. They need to be fairly priced.

While China builds more solar...

If you think people are incapable of thinking or remembering their own bills for the last six months, just ask them who was president the first weeks of the pandemic when we were ACTUALLY locked down.

📌

So all government departments are lying for him now?

I don't trust any, "Federal official reported:" any numbers, percentages, prices, confidence, etc. It might not be lies right this minute, but it will be soon. The first job was to get us to question reality and lose solid sources of info. Then they just came out, fired BLS lady & that was it

I believe so.

Trump did that

What planet do these gas lighting fuckers live on. They really think we are idiots

It sure makes me glad that I’ve been powering my home and fueling my car with sunshine from my roof for the last 15 years. Going with solar is a no-brainer, which proves that Trumplethinskin doesn’t have a brain.

Depends on several factors, including whether you own your home, the size of your roof, how much sun it can capture, etc. I'm glad it's working for you. Not everyone who's not using solar exclusively is an idiot though

Long toes.

100 percent chance it gets worse while the current administration cancels offshore wind projects.

& that cascades, it's 7 years to get a new gas turbine now, either every piece of equipment or the raw materials for it is getting fucked by tariffs & that's all going to be passed through

Comparing these charts with datacenters coming online will probably give an interesting correlation.

What caused the spike from '21 to '23?

I blame Bitcoin mining.

You’d be wrong, Bitcoin mining operations, over 50% green, they seek out fringe supply areas with very low cost power and or surplus / waste power. If they’re not able to get it at a low enough rate or the price goes up, they can’t be profitable and they move.

But at the margin, isn't this *still* power that could be put on the grid? Tell me more about these fringe supply areas. Because if I ran a power generation company and could produce lots of cheap power, I'd want to put it on the grid and sell it at market rates.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7d...

There isn’t constant demand. Mining is very flexible about how it pulls load, it’s not like anything else… Producers are able to put generation in poor or low population areas and offset cost with mining. In 5-10 years my bet is all producers will also be mining.

This offshore wind project was mostly complete!! Wind is a natural resource Donnie

He has such a weird way of opposing waste (fraud and abuse); he just keeps piling up more and more of it however he profits from it

And yet...tv every room. Computer every room not unplugging chargers huge appliaces sucking elctricity. Crazy

compared to AI, I'm not sure what kind of impact keeping our individual homes frugal makes a huge difference. It can feel like our efforts are swamped

Just remember this is by design. They want people to get so far behind that they have to foreclose on their homes. If the interest rate is cut, this will be excellerated, and the ultra wealthy will be able to buy up their fiefdoms. They will put us into a renters society.

So the administration is just going to gaslight us, which eventually it won’t have to because it will just doctor the data itself ………do we call this idiocracy yet?

MAGA is so dumb, they think their electric bills are fake news.

I mean...

🤣 🤣 🤣

They save in heating by sweating while looking at the electric bill.

🎯♾️🎯

A lot of times the president doesn't directly cause energy price fluctuations. This isnt one of those times.

Liars

Seeing the two on my timeline really put things in context.

Numbers. They matter.

Ask an LLM "why are energy bills up since the beginning of 2025" 🤭 /s

Make sure you all keep raising your rents and price's so this type of nonsense doesn’t hurt you. Be the price maker….

Speaking of things going down #TrumpDead

"Thanks to President Trump", our personal savings (if any) "are DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN".

bsky.app/profile/jham...

That all? We've doubled fees using half the power.

We use a level-pay plan. I could go online to find the kw we used, or wait until we get the bill to settle up at the end of the year. I have a feeling it will cost a chunk, which is why I'm not going online to look. My home budget is like Covid testing, if you don't look the problem's not there

He'll fix that with his Heritage economist at the BLS

In the US we believe solar energy cannot be used @ night. In China they are using it to rule the world economy... Renewable Energy Investment Reaches Record High as China Operates World’s Biggest Solar Farm share.google/M1PKGuXLt2wq...

That graph reminds me of a certain person’s signature. Just me?

@demgovs.org , PLEASE keep investing in, and producing clean energy for our states! Please! This greedy regime should not win the climate war by pushing oil and coal! All for greed!😡☠️

American casualties are just beginning. sabrinahaake.substack.com/p/the-maga-s...

I kinda zone and get paranoid when there's too much bad news but I think trump made it illegal to keep renewables going -- everyone has to use petroleum?? That can't be true. Then again he told CA they can't require cars to get 30 mpg. Death, destruction, pollution, crushing costs, that's what we g
