Trump's energy-cut pledge collapses as U.S. power bills rise
TL;DR Summary
Guardian analysis of EIA data shows Trump failed to halve energy bills; 2025 electricity costs rose 6.7% year over year, adding about $116 per household, with DC up 23%, Indiana 17%, and Illinois 15%, while gas prices rose 5.2% and disconnections increased; experts say demand growth outpaced aging infrastructure and a policy mix that limits renewables, undermining the pledge.
