AI data centers take up a lot of energy & that increasing energy demand means higher gas prices. A new report by @oilchange.org reveals Trump's quest for both "energy dominance" & "AI dominance" could push gas prices 80% higher than the previous decade over the next 15 years. https://bit.ly/4w1zZlL

Report Shows How Trump's Fossil Fuel Agenda Is 'Making Everyone's Lives More Expensive' | Common Dreams

Between 2026 and 2040, the average wholesale price of liquid natural gas could be 80% higher than during the past decade, thanks to Trump's acceleration of exports and the construction of gas-powered AI data centers.

LNG exports + AI = rising prices

The End of Cheap Gas

Trump’s energy and AI agendas are pushing U.S. gas production to its limits. Unless we change course, the energy affordability crisis will only get worse.

New Oil Change report: Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables = higher bills

Oil Change International@oilchange.org · last wk.

Decisionmakers must: 🛑 Stop building new gas projects that lock us into expensive and harmful fossil fuels ✅Make a rapid transition to affordable renewable energy. Read the full report: oilchange.org/publications...

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to better understand the impact of LNG exports and data centers on gas prices (and thus utility bills). Key detail: gas production gets much more expensive once it (inevitably) moves to Haynesville shale.

📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.

Trump's...energy policy, and what it's going to cost us all

This should be common sense. Solar, wind, and batteries are by far the most affordable and cleanest forms of energy. But these projects lock in dirty fossil fuels for decades that are more expensive every year. The oil and gas industry gets rich at the expense of our health, wallets, and the planet.
