Energy bills are rising—and it’s not inevitable. Policy choices matter. In today’s @guardian, I lay out how Trump’s energy agenda is adding pressure to prices and hurting households.#EnergyPolicy #EnergyAffordability theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Utility residential debt is up by 8.4% since 12/31/23. Shut-offs are expected to increase by 300,000 families this year. neada.org/energy-afforda…

AP wrote this great story re a discussion with Sec. of HHS Becerra about the need for HHS to increase energy assistance for cooling. The interview took place in Phoenix – one of the hottest parts of the country now. apnews.com/article/arizon…

Summer shut-off protections and utility support are failing to adapt to a warming world. When 49% of the U.S. population doesn't have protections against utility bill shut-offs, we're facing a crisis in energy affordability. Read more from @NEADAorg: neada.org/shutoffprotect…

Record-breaking temperatures are plaguing the U.S. and summer has only just begun. Widely available access to cooling and air conditioning is a necessity, not a luxury. Read my latest op-ed at CNN for ways to rethink responses to extreme heat: cnn.com/2024/06/18/opi…

@energyprgms NEADA and CEPC issued a new report this week - AS EXTREME HEAT INCREASES, SUMMER COOLING COSTS PROJECTED TO INCREASE BY NEARLY 8%, TO AN AVERAGE $719, HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 10 YEARS - neada.org/2024summeroutl…

@NEADAorg We just released our summer price outlook for electric/cooling prices with CEPC. All signs point to another hot summer and more pain for consumers, especially low income. neada.org/2024summeroutl…

1 in 6 American households are behind on their energy bills, and LIHEAP is critically underfunded this year: currently down $2 billion from last year's funding level. Read more here: cnn.com/2024/01/28/pol…

@ajeansu @CenterForBioDiv @EnergyandPolicy @bailoutwatchorg Great work. Your report will shine a spotlight on a very important issue that is causing millions of people to suffer needlessly.

NEW RELEASE: Utilities shutoff power to families over 5.7 million times since 2020 while raking in billions. #NoShutoffs Read our new report @CenterforBioDiv @EnergyandPolicy @bailoutwatchorg: bit.ly/PowerlessInThe…

Biden can help reduce home energy prices and emissions by better managing LNG exports thehill.com/opinion/energy…

The US is now exporting more natural gas than any other country in the world causing rising prices for consumers. This piece I wrote for CNN with Tyson Slocum explains why the federal government needs to do more to manage exports. #energy cnn.com/2022/12/29/opi…

@leahstokes There are some very innovative low income energy programs that are also installing heat pumps. Putting together a list. Very positive.

@leahstokes I couldn't agree more. 32 million households are eligible for energy assistance. The bill sets the tone for the future as well.

@rebleber Be glad to discuss. Mark Wolfe,NEADA mwolfe@neada.org

Federal resources to help low income families pay their cooling bills this summer are woefully inadequate. The nation needs to develop a strategy to help families adapt to rising temperatures. thehill.com/opinion/health…

Rising temperatures are placing all families especially those who are low income and have serious health risks. The nation needs a strategy to help address cooling access and affordability. thehill.com/opinion/health…

The President's Executive Order on solar will buy time to pass legislation to support the development of a domestic manufacturing capability and reduce our dependence on foreign sources. thehill.com/opinion/energy… @ce4america, @ClimatePower , @SecGranholm , @solar

The solar industry is on the verge of collapse. Congress needs to act quickly to support the development of domestic manufacturing. #solar #EnergyTransition #renewables #Renewable_Energy cnn.com/2022/05/24/per…
