SHOT/CHASER CHASER CHASER: Trump Attacks Clean Energy Because He Knows He Will Pay Political Price for Increasing Energy Costs

Washington, D.C. – Donald Trump is unleashing a new barrage of bogus attacks on clean energy because he is afraid of the political price he’ll pay for hiking energy costs with his Republican Rate Hike. Household electric bills have increased by 10% since Trump took office, and instead of lowering costs like he promised, Trump is sending them even higher by blocking solar and wind energy, the most affordable energy sources available. 

SHOT: Donald Trump’s Tweet: “Any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS. THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!! MAGA”
