Trump Signs Catastrophic Republican Rate Hike into Law

Washington, D.C. — Today, Climate Power Executive Director Lori Lodes issued the following statement in response to Trump signing the Republican Rate Hike into law:

“No president has ever willfully inflicted so much pain on the American people as the working class wrecking ball Donald Trump just signed into law.

“Trump promised to cut families’ energy costs in half; instead, he’s spiking their utility bills. He promised American energy dominance, but he’s driving a stake through the heart of our booming clean energy economy. He promised to bring back manufacturing, but he’s jamming through the biggest job killing bill in history. He promised to protect Medicaid, and then took a chainsaw to it. And all to line the pockets of some billionaire donors and Big Oil CEOs.

“This law is a betrayal of America’s working families and national interest. It is a moral abomination. And it is an act of political malfeasance –– an albatross that will burden every Republican member of Congress who rubber-stamped it.”
