An extra $464/year on average for energy for every household and 37,000 additional premature deaths from air pollution. Those are the direct consequences of Trump's policies, according to an @energyinnovation.org analysis. Trump is enriching billionaires while making life worse for everyone else.

Trump’s slashing of clean energy policies isn’t just increasing pollution and cutting jobs, it’s costing Americans a lot of money. New @energyinnovation.org modeling 👇 abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

Due to Trumpian changes in federal policy: "Households will pay an additional $920 billion for energy between 2026-2040 – about $6,500 cumulatively per household across that period and $640 per household in 2035." Much more in this @energyinnovation.org analysis:

A new Energy Innovation report projects federal energy policy rollbacks will add $900 a year to #Iowa families' energy bills and cost the state 23,000+ jobs — in a state that was once a national leader in wind power. #CleanEnergy #EnergyCosts @energyinnovation.org @psr.org

🔌💡 "The story of power plant completions in the first half of 2026 was mainly about utility-scale #solar and #batteries." Our Eric Gimon spoke with @insideclimatenews.org's @dangearino.bsky.social about small- and mid-size utility-scale solar projects. ☀️ insideclimatenews.org/news/1308202...

U.S. electricity demand is expected to grow 30–55% by 2040, but federal energy policy could mean 637 GW less clean energy capacity and $650B in additional household energy costs, according to @energyinnovation.org. We need more power, but these policies make it harder and more expensive to build.

Utility-scale solar dominates the list of 368 utility-scale plants that began operation in the U.S. from January to June, reports @dangearino.bsky.social. "The real underlying workhorse is solar plus battery,” said @energyinnovation.org's Eric Gimon: insideclimatenews.org/news/1308202... 🔌💡

🔌💡 Our recent report finds that renewable energy can power data center facilities at a lower cost than fossil fuels. app.publicnewsservice.org/story/report...

@energyinnovation.org on the impact of federal energy policy decisions since Jan 2025: 152GW lost clean energy capacity additions through 2030 and 637GW through 2040, an extra $650bn in energy costs for households, and $2.3trn in lost GDP 2026-2040: thepowerline.substack.com/p/federal-en... 🔌💡

🔌💡 Federal policy decisions favoring natural gas and keeping #coal plants open are forcing households to pay higher #electricity bills. Our @robbieorvis.bsky.social explains thepowerline.substack.com/p/federal-en...

🔌💡 Clean energy and batteries are a cheaper alternative to operating 99% of the U.S. coal fleet. www.canarymedia.com/articles/fos...

🔌💡 Electricity prices are on the rise nationwide. Recent EIA data reports that residential rates rose 7.3 percent between April 2025 & April 2026. Our analysis projects that by 2035, households could be paying an additional $460 per year on average for their energy. www.newsweek.com/map-electric...

In case you missed it, @brendan.bsky.social, @michelle-solomon.bsky.social and I just published an @energyinnovation.org report showing that the U.S. can save $5 billion per year by meeting load growth with clean power and demand-side flexibility instead of keeping old coal and gas plants running. 🧵

Why are #electricity prices rising? And what can businesses do now to protect themselves from what's coming next? Our @robbieorvis.bsky.social sheds light on this complex set of challenges. 🎙️🎧 Give it a listen podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

🔌💡 "Rolling back clean energy regulations could cost American households a staggering half-trillion dollars in higher utility bills by 2040." www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

Today we (@energyinnovation.org) released an analysis of federal clean energy policy impacts of the past 18 months on the economy and health. You can find @ellanilsen.bsky.social's & @cnn.com's coverage here: www.cnn.com/2026/07/07/c... And our analysis here: energyinnovation.org/report/econo...

Americans are already facing an affordability crisis - and Trump's gutting of clean energy and climate policies is only making it worse. His and Congressional Republicans' crusade against key affordability and health policies will cost households $460/year by 2035. via @energyinnovation.org

New @energyinnovation.org models found that federal energy policy decisions made since January 2025 will worsen local air pollution and raise healthcare costs by $43 billion from 2026 to 2040. Check out the full report: energyinnovation.org/report/econo...

🔌💡 New modeling finds recent federal #energy policy changes could cut hundreds of GW of new generation capacity added to the grid—right when it's needed most. Less supply = higher costs & greater reliability challenges. energyinnovation.org/report/econo...

🔌💡 Limiting #energy development at a time of high demand will result in Americans paying even more for power. Our @robbieorvis.bsky.social explains these electricity rate spikes + new modeling www.cnn.com/2026/07/07/c...

Great report from Lily Bermel at MIT CEEPR worth reading in full: ceepr.mit.edu/workingpaper... Many findings are directionally similar to our NRCT article on how OBBBA alters the broader US energy system, which includes the EPS model from @energyinnovation.org: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🔌💡 A fossil-forward approach puts customers on the hook for higher coal and gas costs by 2030. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-cas...

🔌💡 Renewables have many cost & environmental advantages over coal and natural gas power plants. insideclimatenews.org/news/0207202...

🔌💡 Clean energy can reliably meet the American economy’s insatiable demand for #electricity, at lower costs than if we primarily rely on aging coal plants and volatile natural gas. thepowerline.substack.com/p/clean-ener... by @brendan.bsky.social

Americans are facing an energy affordability crisis. If we meet electricity demand growth from data centers with fossil fuels, families will have to pay $30 billion more per year.

@energyinnovation.org: "Utility customers could save $5 billion per year by 2030 if the U.S. prioritizes clean energy over a fossil-fuel heavy approach to meeting record electricity demand from data centers and other large loads." www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-cas... via @ceboudreau.bsky.social 🔌💡

🔌💡 Meeting expected demand growth with a fossil fuel-heavy approach (consistent with current federal policy priorities) will add $30 billion annually to customer bills by 2030. Our @silviomarcacci.bsky.social explains 👇 www.forbes.com/sites/energy...

🚨New Report🚨 Modeling shows that meeting forecast #electricity demand growth with fossil fuels will add $29.7 billion annually to customer bills by 2030. But #CleanEnergy can reliably meet load growth and save $5 billion per year. 🔌💡 energyinnovation.org/report/let-t...

🔌💡 #Energy policy is about more than politics—it's about balancing reliability, affordability, economic growth, and environmental stewardship. Our @oboylemm.bsky.social joined NPR's 1A #podcast to discuss the role of #wind energy & our energy future. the1a.org/segments/the...
