Renewables surpassed coal LAST YEAR. Why would the media (or anyone else) trust Chris Wright's predictions on things like gas prices?

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have spent the last year raising our costs by trying to ban clean energy.
Despite this, states all across the country are making progress to "Build, Baby, Build," bypassing gridlock and deploying clean energy.
These states are leading the way 👇
NEW: LCV has launched a major accountability campaign elevating the impacts of Trump's Big Ugly Bill and the members of Congress who voted for it.
The Republican Tax Law has raised our energy costs while giving Big Oil massive handouts.
WATCH our new "PAYING MORE" ad, calling out Rep. Van Orden 👇
We're running ads to demand they lower our costs. They need to hear from everyone that we can't afford a 13% increase - let alone whatever they have planned next. bsky.app/profile/lcv....

"Everybody needs hope and heroes . . . We have to believe and we have to give people belief. And if we do that, people will show up."
WATCH @pete.lcv.org and @campaignstrategist.bsky.social's discussion on energy affordability, public lands, and how democracy and the environment are intertwined 👇
Cool tool. Bad news.
This week, @schumer.senate.gov unveiled Senate Democrats' energy affordability agenda, which includes:
📉 Bringing energy costs down
⚡ Building more clean energy
❌ Rescinding Trump's Big Oil tax breaks
⚖️ Making data centers pay their fair share
Democrats are fighting for working Americans 💪
Trump promised lower energy bills. Instead, they skyrocketed.
Democrats’ plan to bring them down:
1. Build more clean energy
2. Cut delays — not protections
3. Fix the grid
4. Make data centers pay their fair share
5. Protect consumers

At last night's LCV Capital Dinner, @schumer.senate.gov unveiled Senate Democrats' new energy affordability vision to tackle skyrocketing energy costs caused by Trump.
Democrats' plan would bring back clean energy tax credits and rescind Trump's Big Oil tax breaks.
This is how you fight back 👏
The Republican Tax Law raised energy costs by slashing clean energy projects. Congressman Kean voted for the law, which is raising New Jersey households’ energy costs by $180 a year.
New Jersey residents like Michele are struggling to keep up.
🎥Hear Michele's story in our and @lcv.org's new ad:
American families are paying way too much for electricity right now.
Democrats are doing something about it. Our #EnergyBillsReliefAct would expand access to cleaner, cheaper forms of energy and lower your electricity bills.
How much profit is your utility making off you?
Electricity costs are soaring - this tool from @energyandpolicy.org shows how much extra your utility charges per month.
Nationally, electric utilities took ~15% of your bill for profit last year.

took my ioniq 9 on a 500 mile road trip, had to stop to charge once for 30 minutes. Never had range anxiety since.
Billionaire Big Oil executives are so emboldened by the Trump administration that they think they can just demand Senate seats now
The Trump administration and their allies in Congress are the ones standing in the way and making things more expensive. While they kept wind and solar projects off the grid, electricity prices went up 13% last year.
This is a really frank and interesting view into what it's like to cover climate change these days. This podcast has been off to a great start.
Americans are looking for more than vague pledges from a president who has continued to ban clean energy and drove energy prices up 13% after promising to cut them by 50%.
Trump continues to harm our communities and increase our bills while putting more money in Big Polluters' pockets.
Welp: ZERO takers on the Trump administration's first lease sale for oil and gas development in the Cook Inlet, Alaska. Bidding closed today with no bids.
The lease sale was supposed to spark new interest in oil and gas development in the region. It doesn't seem to be working.
Looking the other way on pesticides, pfas, weedkillers. But draws the line at ice coffee. 🤔

If tech giants want to build data centers, the message is simple: power them with clean energy—not coal and gas—and don’t pass the cost on to ratepayers. heatmap.news/plus/the-fight/qa/jesse-...
Trump is in Texas today to tout his energy agenda aka the reason our electric bills are so high.
Instead of embracing clean energy — which has helped Texas avoid blackouts — Trump has doubled down on dirty and costly fossil fuels.
When it comes to clean energy, we need to "Build, baby, build."

“New York can fix our energy system, protect our wallets & show the nation what real leadership looks like,” writes NYLCV President in Empire Report op-ed.
The success of #CongestionPricing shows that. Next step: a just, clean #Energy system for New Yorkers & the planet.
