1⃣ Day One: Trump froze clean energy funds. That includes: āŒ Home energy rebates āŒ Weatherization programs āŒ Rural energy support āŒ LIHEAP (low-income heating aid) Hundreds of families in Huntsville, AL saw $100 utility hikes overnight. al.com/news/huntsvill…

2⃣ He blocked support for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. That stalls EV adoption, keeps gas demand high, and raises prices at the pump—especially for rural families. It also threatens auto jobs in Michigan & beyond. bridgemi.com/michigan-envir…

3⃣ Trump halted new federal wind projects. This cuts off affordable power before it can come online. States are scrambling to avoid blackouts. Prices rise. Thousands of clean energy jobs? Gone. theconversation.com/trumps-offshor…

4⃣ He lifted the cap on LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports. That move alone could raise gas prices by 30%—making it even more expensive to heat your home and cook your food. grist.org/energy/exporti…

5⃣ He blocked permits for 168 clean energy projects. More delays = fewer renewables = higher bills. It’s a rigged game—and fossil fuel execs are winning. news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-an…

6⃣ He's trying to claw back $20B from clean energy grants in low-income communities. These projects cut bills and keeps homes affordable. But Trump is starving them of funding—on purpose—so they collapse under delay. evergreenaction.com/press/greenhou…

7⃣ Then he launched a trade war. Trump’s new national tariff tax raised energy import costs—especially on fuel from Canada. What that means for you: šŸ“ˆ +50Ā¢/gal at the pump in the Midwest šŸ“ˆ Higher heating bills in winter evergreenaction.com/blog/trumps-en…

8⃣ Ontario struck back with a 25% tariff on electricity exports to NY, MI, and MN. 1.5 million households rely on that power. Trump started a trade war. You’re paying for it. politico.com/news/2025/03/0…

9⃣ He added tariffs on steel & aluminum. Now it’s more expensive to build: šŸ”§ Power lines šŸ”‹ Batteries šŸ’Ø Wind turbines ā˜€ļø Solar panels 🚘 Even cars You name it—Trump made it pricier. eenews.net/articles/how-t…

šŸ”Ÿ He, at Elon Musk's direction, terminated a key affordable housing program. This HUD program helped keep housing costs low by upgrading insulation & HVAC in low-income homes. Without it? Renters are left in the cold—and with higher bills. apnews.com/article/trump-…

1⃣1⃣ He’s shutting down environmental justice programs. One example: New Haven, CT was set to get $20M to cut energy costs in overburdened communities. That money is now in limbo—and families are left paying the price. insideclimatenews.org/news/16022025/…

Trump's next move could be the most expensive yet: repealing the Inflation Reduction Act. That would erase clean energy tax credits, cut rebates, and drive up energy costs by $32B over 10 years. energyinnovation.org/report/inflati…

Trump’s agenda = higher costs for you, bigger profits for polluters. The bottom line? Trump’s ā€œenergy dominanceā€ is a scam. It’s price hikes for working families, handouts for Big Oil. And unless we stop him, the next 4 years will only get worse.

So inspired by Sen. Cory Booker's record-breaking grand stand in the Senate. 25 hours. This is the kind of mettle and leadership we need! Thank you, Senator Booker for standing up and fighting for our country!

Instead of lowering costs like they were sent here to do, House Republicans are pushing through a bill that does the exact opposite. Here are 7 ways their bill will increase costs for working families.
