Rising electricity prices in the United States are becoming a pressing concern, particularly under the current administration, which has seemingly prioritized renewable energy sources over traditional, economically advantageous options.
Since 2020, electricity costs in the U.S. have surged from an average of 13 cents per kilowatt-hour to 19 cents by 2025. The increase has not only affected households but has also had dire ramifications for businesses and industries, especially in energy-rich states where costs can be exorbitant.
The root cause of these hikes can be traced back to decisions made during the Biden administration that favored wind and solar energy initiatives while systematically shutting down reliable coal and natural gas facilities. This shift has left American consumers bearing the brunt of higher utility bills—some cities report rates as high as 40 cents per kWh, nearing the outrageous prices seen in countries like Germany.
Under former President Trump’s administration, policies focused on energy independence and deregulation led to stable and predictable electricity costs. His administration understood the strategic importance of utilizing our nation’s coal, natural gas, and other energy resources to keep prices low, bolster the economy, and ensure energy reliability.
In contrast, the current trajectory is unsustainable. We have more than enough resources to generate affordable electricity, but misguided policies are forcing Americans to pay for inefficient energy sources instead.
While proponents of a shift toward renewable resources tout the environmental benefits, the harsh reality is that removing low-cost, dispatchable power from the grid jeopardizes the economic stability of American families and businesses. It is clear that the solution does not lie in blindly pursuing renewable energy, but rather in reviving our rich energy resources—coal and natural gas—that historically kept costs down.
As we look ahead to the upcoming political landscape, it is crucial to advocate for policies that protect the American consumer and the economy. With coal and natural gas as part of our energy mix, we can ensure that American families no longer have to worry about exorbitant electricity bills.
The call for a return to energy independence has never been more urgent, and the vision offered by the Trump administration remains a viable path forward. American sovereignty and prosperity depend on smart energy policies that prioritize affordability and reliability over unrealistic green energy mandates.
Restoration of rational energy regulations could lift the burden from countless households and businesses, ultimately giving our nation the competitive edge it needs in the global economy. It’s time to harness America’s energy potential and demand accountability from those leading the charge on energy reforms.
