Prop 45 would let data center developers and corporate interests skirt protections for California’s air, water, and public health—leaving families to pay the price in higher electricity bills and health harms. Californians: Vote #noonprop45ca.

The U.S. is facing an energy emergency—one fueled by Trump’s actions abroad and his administration’s attacks on clean energy at home.

Utility bills are soaring everywhere and rising twice as fast in competitive Republican-held districts. These rate raisers in Congress have got to go. Make your voice heard by November 3rd and vote to cut costs.

Sen. Jon Husted has backed the Trump administration’s fossil fuel agenda and pushed data center development in Ohio. That means higher bills for Ohio families—and bad news for Husted this November.

The Trump administration is working on behalf of fossil fuel and chemical industries to systematically dismantle the nation’s cancer protections, leaving families exposed to more carcinogens. Congress needs to step up. Read the full report from @nrdc.org.

Mainers are paying more for energy costs. They deserve a senator who fights for them. Unlike Susan Collins, @troyjackson207.bsky.social answers to the people of Maine—not Trump or Big Oil billionaires

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social

Senator Collins keeps telling us how powerful she is, but for who? Families struggling to afford groceries, medicine, and heating oil shouldn’t have to write a campaign check to get their senator’s attention. I don’t owe the billionaires anything. I owe Maine everything.

canarymedia.comHere's why your energy bills are going upPoliticians talk about the energy affordability crisis but don't always grapple with the root causes — or the solutions. Here’s the lowdown.

As the Trump administration blocks clean energy and locks in higher costs, we need to elect candidates who will work to cut climate pollution and lower families’ energy bills at the same time.

This is what a failed presidency looks like.

President Trump and Republicans in Congress have taken a sledgehammer to clean energy. At a time when families need relief from sky-high electricity bills, the administration is working to gut affordable clean energy and jobs across the country. 👇🧵

Families in California already face some of the highest electricity prices in the country. Yet 18 clean energy projects have been canceled that would’ve added more power to the grid, costing thousands of jobs.

Americans are already struggling and Trump’s policies, backed by Republican majorities in Congress, will raise utility bills by another $230 a year by 2035.

As more Ohioans struggle to keep up with high utility bills, companies have abandoned clean energy projects that would’ve added more electricity on the grid to power over a quarter of a million homes.

Despite adding more clean energy to the grid than any other state, Texas has seen the most clean energy projects canceled over the past few years, alongside almost 60,000 jobs being wiped out.

Michigan has lost more than $8 billion in clean energy funding over the past few years, wiping out projects that would’ve supported the state’s manufacturing economy.

Companies have abandoned 15 clean energy projects in North Carolina, costing more than 9,000 jobs. Many of those projects would’ve added solar and energy storage—helping to deliver affordable, reliable electricity for North Carolinians.

Companies have abandoned nearly 30 clean energy projects in New York, including some of the nation’s largest solar and battery-storage projects. Those cancellations cost more than 8,000 jobs and took lower-cost, reliable power off the table for New Yorkers.

The Trump administration’s energy agenda—backed by Republicans in Congress—is increasing energy costs for most families. We need to elect candidates in these states who will fight for clean, affordable energy to lower our electricity bills.

nrdcactionfund.orgVote NO on Prop 45 to Keep California's Environmental Laws StrongProp 45 is a giant loophole that would dismantle protections Californians spent decades building.

Prop 45 would give polluting projects like data centers a loophole around public review, weakening environmental and public health protections. California should strengthen safeguards for clean air, water, and communities—not weaken them. Vote #Noon45CA.

California’s cap-and-trade program makes big polluters pay for their emissions. In the coming weeks, state leaders can take action to redirect those funds and add more clean energy to the grid to lower electricity bills—delivering relief when families need it most.

Trump’s EPA is handing Big Tech a free pass to pollute by weakening safeguards for AI data centers, putting communities’ health at risk. We need stronger protections, not less.
