🔌 Electricity and gas bills are going up for 100+ million consumers in 49 states + D.C. Check @americanprogress.bsky.social and @nrdc.org’s new Utility Tracker to see if you're on the list. 💸 www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...
NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social and @nrdc.org --> 65% of all U.S. electric and 59% of all U.S. natural gas utility costumers face increased or proposals for increased utility rates by 2027. Find out some reasons why in our new report: www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...
A graphic with a light blue background and a cityscape illustration featuring wind turbines and solar panels. The title is "Clean energy." Text describes fossil fuels' vulnerability to extreme temperatures and argues that clean energy improves reliability and helps consumers save money, protecting against extreme temperatures.
With the increased frequency and intensity of climate change-driven extreme heat and cold events, Americans can no longer rely on natural gas and coal. Learn more: www.americanprogress.org/article/clea...
New CAP analysis finds that the Trump administration’s proposed 2026 budget includes a nearly $4 billion cut to national parks, national forests, wildlife refuges, wilderness and recreation areas, and more—a cut in funding by more than a third of 2024 levels.
This week's heat wave is a stark reminder that federal and state policymakers must take action to protect workers and to reduce the health and economic damages brought on by work exposure to extreme heat. www.americanprogress.org/article/extr...
Like millions of Americans, I am getting ready to pay more on my electricity bills this year. The budget bill currently in the Senate is only going to make it worse! We need more clean and affordable energy, not less!

Who exactly is winning under the Trump administration? Not people like Cody who just returned home from military leave to a price spike in his electric bill.
➡️ Share this video and let us know if you also got a notice that your electric bill is going up.
1. Americans' health is under threat. 🚨 Trump and House Republicans have set up the perfect storm for asthma that will cause over 100 million asthma attacks over the next 25 years. (1/6) www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
Locking in long-term LNG contracts will result in Americans facing higher domestic energy prices and Germans facing reduced national security. The way forward is to invest in affordable, and cleaner technology ☀️🔋 that will lower costs and pollution. www.americanprogress.org/article/lng-...
One thing that cannot be said enough (honestly barely being said at all) about republican's big horrible bill is that it is fully eviscerating US federal climate policy.
The Inflation Reduction Act was finally the moment we took major federal action... and republicans are about to kill it. 1/11
House Republicans just passed their big billionaire bailout bill — a bill that threatens the loss of jobs, raises costs, and defunds programs dedicated to reducing pollution ON TOP of large cuts to healthcare access and food assistance. This is not “beautiful” — it’s so ugly and will hurt Americans
Published a subtle column this AM…
House Republicans are Giving Up on U.S. Manufacturing!

As extreme heat conditions become worse, and with the federal administration unlikely to protect workers, state policymakers must fill the void. Policymakers don't have to start from scratch. They can draw on CAP recommendations here: www.americanprogress.org/article/stat...
The price of gas is already too damn high—Trump wants to make it even more expensive.
For decades, wildfires have been getting more severe—putting lives, homes, and lands at risk of destruction along the way. This escalating threat is a direct consequence of fossil-fueled climate change.

@neeratanden.bsky.social is spot on: Rolling back IRA climate investments won’t just pollute our communities. It’ll raise energy costs for American families.
House Republicans should remember that gutting clean energy tax credits means higher bills for their constituents.
Ready for your gas prices to go up?
House Republicans are proposing to end almost all federal clean energy investments, which will drive up the cost of gas and line the pockets of Big Oil execs.
Electricity bills are rising, and The Trump administration's policies are making it worse!! We need to go all in on clean and affordable sources of energy. Not polluting and expensive fossil fuels. Read more in our new report: www.americanprogress.org/article/10-t...
Electricity prices are spiking, and the Trump administration’s actions are further increasing costs for working people while enriching billionaire oil and gas donors. New from CAP's @lucerowx.bsky.social, @akshayt33.bsky.social, and @shannonbb-8.bsky.social:
The Trump administration is attacking cost-saving programs & blocking access to affordable energy - ultimately increasing your electricity bills while making Big Oil executives richer. Read more from @amprog here: www.americanprogress.org/article/10-t...
‼️ BOTTOM LINE: More exports = higher bills AND worse health. This isn’t about energy independence, it’s about billionaires and oil execs cashing in while American families pay more and get sicker. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
The Center for Energy & Environmental Analysis breaks down the economic impacts in their latest report: “Drill More, Pay More.”

All this while oil & gas companies rake in profits. The Trump administration’s push to expand LNG exports even further means higher energy costs & more pollution. And it will be everyday Americans left to pay the price with their wallets and their health, not them. ⛽💰😷
💸💡 That shift is expected to drive up energy prices for U.S. industry by as much as 101%. And consumers will be paying for it through increased costs for goods and services, on top of increased household energy bills.
In 2025, for the first time ever, the U.S. will export more natural gas than all of the U.S. industrial sector—manufacturing, farming, energy, construction—uses combined. 📈📈
As we started selling natural gas overseas, prices at home stopped falling and began rising. Between 2019 and 2024, residential gas bills went up. Why? Because now the American market is competing with global demand. 🌎 www.eia.gov/energyexplai...
🧵: Since 2016, the U.S. has been exporting more and more liquefied natural gas (LNG). See what that’s meant for everyday Americans. 👇 eia.gov/outlooks/steo/realprices
This Earth Month, let’s talk about what’s at stake 🌎
Working-class Americans need clean air and water, lower energy bills, and protection from extreme weather. But the Trump administration is canceling the very projects that would make it possible. Hear more from @jasia.bsky.social:
The Trump administration and Musk-led DOGE are cutting the very resources and experts we need as extreme weather continues to worsen.
We must demand action or keep paying the price. @lucerowx.bsky.social explains:
Since the passage of the IRA, states have benefited from millions in clean energy & manufacturing investment + thousands of new jobs. But Congressional Republicans are putting that all at risk.
