SHOT/CHASER: AI Is Causing Electricity Costs to Soar, Trump Is Making It Worse

Washington, D.C.  — The soaring energy demand from AI is increasing electricity costs for families across the country, and Trump’s Republican Rate Hike will spike household energy costs even more. Clean energy is the least expensive and quickest power generation source to add to the grid to meet the demand of AI. The Republican Rate Hike’s gutting of clean energy would increase average household energy bills by an average of $130 in 2030 and $170 in 2035, with some states seeing increases of as much as $630.

SHOT: Washington Post: The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity: “As data centers pop up across the U.S., energy experts fear their growing needs for power will outstrip supply and the prices will spike for everyone.”

CHASER: Donald Trump gutted clean energy through the Republican Rate Hike bill, hiking energy costs for Americans across the country.
