North Carolina
The Republican Rate Hike has taken a “sledgehammer” to North Carolina’s clean energy production, saddling North Carolinians with higher energy costs, a weaker electric grid, and job losses. Since Trump’s election, his attacks on clean energy have led to the cancellation or delay of 2,572 jobs and $2.44 billion of investment in North Carolina. And every single North Carolina Republican in Congress voted for Trump’s bill to create a self-inflicted energy crisis, sending utility costs through the roof, and closing down factories, all to give a massive tax break to oil and gas billionaires.
