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%.

The lease sale was supposed to spark new interest in oil and gas development in the region. It doesn't seem to be working.

How solar and batteries help keep lights on during Texas winter storms The recent boom in renewables and storage in Texas means its grid is much better prepared for bad weather than it was when Winter Storm Uri hit five years…

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.
