This week, House Republicans passed THREE BILLS to raise your electricity costs and abandon cheap, clean energy. Once again, they have chosen to double down on failed policies that have increased electricity prices 13% nationwide since the beginning of Trump’s term.

"What I do not want to have happen is what has happened in Virginia, where they come in and everybody’s prices go way, way, way up," Hawley said. "That is a bad deal, and I do not want to see that happen in Missouri." This is also why Virginia voters flipped the state blue in November.

You can literally hear the "yoink" coming out of this image

Interesting considering the Trump administration itself predicts lng prices will go up next year: "We expect prices to average $4.00/MMBtu in 2026, 16% higher than in 2025, primarily due to increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports amid flat production growth." www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/

If there's one reason to have hope in the future, it is how the renewable energy revolution has already taken on too much momentum for Trump to stop. The horse has bolted & all his actions will accomplish is wrecking the stable of future innovation.

🚨New @lcv.org report shows that Illinois was a national leader in clean energy this year – and that our state’s investments in wind and solar are helping consumers with skyrocketing utility bills! I’ve been proud to partner with @ilenviro.bsky.social to push for this progress.

"Instead of tackling our affordability crisis, instead of fighting the climate crisis... this is what Republicans want to vote on. An attempted favor for Big Oil execs." @markey.senate.gov was clear: this reckless CRA threatens the Arctic Refuge and local communities, just to benefit Big Oil.

Clean energy is cheap energy. I teamed up with Rep. Mike Levin to unveil the Cheap Energy Agenda, a consumer-focused approach to United States energy policy that ensures Americans have access to cheap, reliable, and clean energy. casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Trump is trying his best to hold back our transition to a clean energy future, but our state's and other nationwide wins keep us energized!

States all across the country made critical progress this year lowering energy costs, building clean energy, and tackling climate change. Check out the biggest climate and clean energy wins in 2025 👇 lcv.org/cefa-2025

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's attempts to ban clean, cheap energy. But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress lowering costs, building clean energy, and tackling climate change all across the country. Long thread of wins you may have missed 🧵👇

A favorite tool for assessing where a given congressperson stands: the League of Conservation Voters scorecard. These scores speak volumes about somebody’s priorities. (This is not news — been going since 1970 — but I’m sometimes surprised it isn’t better known.) www.lcv.org/congressiona...

Congress is back in session and House Republicans are trying to pass a number of devastating, anti-environmental bills. These bills would further open our public lands to drilling and give massive handouts to billionaires. LCV’s @matthewhdavis.bsky.social on what you need to know 👇

Last night’s message is clear: Americans care about affordable energy, and they know clean energy is affordable. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. https://www.lcv.org/media-center/memo-electricity-bills-the-kitchen-table-issue-driving-dem-wins-in-2025-and-beyond/

Voters sent a clear message: make energy clean, affordable and fair. Democrats won big by talking about lower bills and clean power. People want cheaper energy and a livable planet. 🌞⚡

Big news from Georgia: Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard have been elected to the Public Service Commission! They said what Georgians are all thinking - “the power bills are too high!” We’re thrilled they’ll be working for Georgians and supporting affordable, clean energy.

Congratulations to Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill. Voters have put their trust in her because they know that she’ll fight to lower energy bills by pledging to freeze electric rates on her first day in office and to build more affordable, clean energy.

Abigail Spanberger has won the Virginia governor’s race! Governor-Elect Spanberger has been relentlessly focused on making Virginians’ lives more affordable, and has a plan to expand renewable energy and stop energy bills from going up more. We’re looking forward to her leadership in Richmond!

Reminder: 33 states have elections today! Make sure you cast your ballot if yours is one of them!

Cost of living, including rising energy bills, is a major issue for voters. Our state affiliates are running big campaigns in major races this fall to highlight who is focused on the issues that matter and who is making the problem even worse. Thread and memo below on key ⚡ races we’re watching 🧵👇

The electric bills are too damn high and we need to call out who is making them higher

TUNE IN: I’m holding the Senate floor to protest Trump’s grave threats to democracy. We cannot pretend this is normal. youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

For the love of America. For the love of democracy. For the love of freedom. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Before catastrophic floods swept through the Alaska Native village of Kipnuk on Sunday, the EPA canceled a $20 million grant intended to protect the community from extreme flooding. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Trump is forcing dirty and outdated gas and coal plants like Michigan’s Campbell coal plant to stay open against the wishes of the people in those communities — and making all of us foot the bill. Join our fight to close expensive, polluting coal plants at lcv.org/no-coal.

"Under Mr. Trump, Republicans have gone even further. They have become the party that stands in the way of lower energy prices for American households."

Today on Volts: hey listen up! The most important election of the year is happening in Georgia next month. Two seats on the (currently all-GOP) Public Service Commission are up & rising electricity prices are on everyone's mind. This is a bellwether for next year's governor & midterm elections!

The government may be closed for you but it is still very much open for billionaire CEOs and polluters

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's historic, unprecedented assault on clean, cheap energy. But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress on climate and clean energy in states all across the country. Long thread of wins you may have missed this year 🧵👇

Trump and Republicans' billionaire-first agenda is raising families' energy and health costs, killing good jobs, and threatening programs that protect our health. Congressional Dems and state leaders joined LCV for a press conference to call out how Trump's #GOPShutdown hurts communities 🧵👇

SHOCKING: Polluters Support Weakening Pollution Standards

The Trump administration and Department of Energy policies have already cost Americans 91,000 clean energy jobs and counting. They are actively killing jobs in rural places and small towns across this country, and they have no plan to replace them.

Don’t know about you but I’d really like to know what’s being pumped into the air I breathe.

Epstein list, but for polluters.

Federal incentives for energy efficient home upgrades are expiring in just a few months. @rewiringamerica.bsky.social wants to make sure everyone can tap in before it’s too late.

I know I say this almost every day but I truly, truly do not understand the authoritarian personality. I genuinely can not imagine acting like a sniveling apparatchik like this in public and then looking at myself in the mirror at night. What goes on in their heads? Why are they like this?

The Trump administration released a report saying that the threat of climate change is overblown in order to justify pro-pollution policies. More than 85 climate scientists just condemned the report, saying it is riddled with errors and cherry-picked data. REPOST if you support these scientists!

#LCVAF is thrilled to endorse @repchrispappas.bsky.social for #NHSen. In Congress, he has a proven track record fighting for people and protecting the air we breathe and the water we drink. We know he will continue to help build a more affordable, more resilient clean energy future.

The weirdest part to me is how much of it is supposed to be “comedy” or comedy-adjacent and yet so frequently the “jokes” are just the laziest, unclever, unfunny garbage.

The Republican budget will stick Americans with higher energy bills. End the war on clean, cheap energy. Kill the Bill.

21 House Republicans signed a letter supporting clean energy in their districts. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is keeping them honest: "What are those 21 Republicans going to do when the time comes to vote for this Big Ugly Bill" that guts clean energy jobs? Tell your reps to #VoteNo TODAY.

"Raising the cost of your energy bill by hundreds of dollars, stripping away millions of jobs... and what is all of this being done for? To provide massive tax breaks to billionaires." Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for leading opposition on the Big Ugly Bill. The House must #VoteNo

"Republicans are actually going to increase costs to energy bills everyday Americans pay by hundreds of dollars a year." @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been on the floor since 4AM calling out GOP's Big Ugly Bill. ⏰ They could vote ANY MINUTE NOW. Tell your Reps to #VoteNo at (202) 224-3121

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will gut clean energy, jack up energy costs, and kill good jobs -- all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. Our team and partners were on the Hill to support @housedemocrats.bsky.social leading the charge to defend our communities and oppose this bill. #VoteNo

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is the most anti-environmental piece of legislation in U.S. history. This bill would gut clean energy and raise our costs while giving massive handouts to the fossil fuel industry. Big Oil may as well have written this legislation.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

If this bill passes, Republicans will own increased energy prices.

NEW ad from @LCVoters and @ClimatePower GOP promised to bring down costs. - Tariffs, costs up for everything - Medicaid cuts, increasing costs - Energy shortage, raising electricity rates - Trillion dollars in deficit www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj66...
