Retired Ohio school teacher Joni Watson was "dumbfounded" by the drastic increase in her electric bill this past year. Thanks to Trump's war in Iran and his administration's policies against clean energy projects, utility prices will continue to go up.

I'm excited to join a powerful panel conversation for the @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social climate documentary #GASLIT theatrical screening in Washington, DC at the Angelika Pop Up at Union Market on June 28 at 12:00PM.

In case you missed it, here's what Trump has been up to recently: ❌ Gave the coal industry $700M in taxpayer dollars ❌ Leased 700,000 acres of the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas companies ❌ Used national park entrance fees to pay for his D.C. vanity projects He is destroying and looting our country.

Offshore wind projects that were set to power over 1.3 million U.S. homes were traded for…zero added energy capacity, actually. 🤦🏽‍♀️ As Emily says in this article, “Americans’ side of the bargain appears to be worthless”. heatmap.news/energy/total...

Trump regime again tries to shutter all NOAA labs in its 2027 White House budget. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

White House releases FY27 budget proposal, continuing plan of massive cuts to Earth science, including elimination of NOAA Research

NOAA grant data shows agency awarding grants at a much slower rate than previous years, likely showing administration strategy to reduce scientific spending through budget execution

* Not just proposing (again) to end LIHEAP, but bragging that this is the sixth time they've tried to end it. * False claim that LIHEAP is unneeded because states' disconnection policies address the issue?? * Misleading claims about "integrity concerns" that have already been addressed.

James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Page 20: Proposes to end LIHEAP. While at the same time asking for huge increases in military funding for an unpopular illegal war. The campaign ads write themselves.

While the Trump admin continues to make poor decisions that only drive electricity prices higher, the presidential budget calls to eliminate LIHEAP, a program that helps millions of Americans with their heating and cooling bills, yet again?? www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch. Wow.

Artemis ii from space

While Washington wages war on science, NASA just sent humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since 1972. Bravo #TeamNASA — proof that public science, when it's funded and trusted, still does extraordinary things.

Families like Jason Freed's are faced with difficult decisions as both the temperature and his utility bills continue to rise.

Fossil fuel pollution is “poisoning more than just our planet.” By degrading air quality protections, the Trump administration is also causing significant damage to our health. @whitehouse.senate.gov

At last night's LCV Capital Dinner, @schumer.senate.gov unveiled Senate Democrats' new energy affordability vision to tackle skyrocketing energy costs caused by Trump. Democrats' plan would bring back clean energy tax credits and rescind Trump's Big Oil tax breaks. This is how you fight back 👏

Trump was right? I remember him promising our energy prices were going to be cut in half within his first year and yet here we are -- electricity prices are rising, even faster than inflation, and households are struggling to pay.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo ago

Trump on energy prices: "It's not over, so maybe it'll go up a little bit more. It's all gonna come back down to where it was and probably lower. And my predictions have been right. Trump was right about everything. They have a new hat."

$1,000,000,000. That's how much of our taxpayer money Trump is giving to a foreign fossil fuel company to STOP construction on offshore wind projects. This nonsensical, destructive "policy" will raise our costs and pollute our planet further all so Big Oil can get even richer.

Trump Administration to Pay $1 Billion to Energy Giant to Cancel Wind Farms

Let’s call this what it is: a taxpayer-funded bribe to kill homegrown clean energy and hand the money straight to oil and gas executives. Trump is once again making Americans pay more for energy so his Big Oil donors can rake in even more profits.
