NEW STUDY: Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda Means Higher Energy Costs and Mass Layoffs for Americans

Washington, D.C. — Nonpartisan energy and climate policy group Energy Innovation released a state-by-state breakdown of how Project 2025 would harm middle-class Americans with increased energy costs of $240 for the average household and 1.7 million jobs lost across the country by 2030. 

Climate Power Communications Director Alex Glass issued the following statement: “Big Oil wrote the blueprint for Trump’s day-one dictatorship, and this new research proves just how dangerous his plans are. Trump’s Project 2025 agenda will give Americans higher bills and pink slips while Big Oil gets $110 billion in tax breaks. Trump’s plan is to make working families pay up so that fossil fuel billionaires get a payout.”

Trump’s Project 2025 agenda will hurt working families in states like: 

• Arizona, where annual energy costs would increase by more than $360 per household and where more than 24,400 jobs would be lost in 2035. 

• Georgia, where annual energy costs would increase by nearly $430 per household and where more than 39,900 jobs would be lost in 2035.

• Michigan, where annual energy costs would increase by nearly $360 per household and where nearly 47,700 jobs would be lost in 2035.

• Nevada, where annual energy costs would increase by nearly $460 per household and where more than 4,800 jobs would be lost in 2035. 

• North Carolina, where annual energy costs would increase by more than $360 per household and where nearly 31,900 jobs would be lost in 2035. 

• Ohio, where annual energy costs would increase by more than $260 per household and where more than 44,100 jobs would be lost in 2035.

• Pennsylvania, where annual energy costs would increase by $390 per household and where nearly 55,500 jobs would be lost in 2035.

• Texas, where annual energy costs would increase by more than $400 per household and where nearly 175,000 jobs would be lost in 2035. 

• Wisconsin, where annual energy costs would increase by nearly $400 per household and where nearly 20,100 jobs would be lost in 2035.
