“Things would be so much less expensive right now if we had made those advancements.” — @MIAttyGen
Instead, fossil fuel companies delayed clean energy—and MI families are paying the price.

Michigan families could save nearly $800 on electricity bills over the next 4 years—if lawmakers act.
Here's how:
✅Make data centers pay for their own way
✅Rein in excessive utility profits
✅Expand affordable, customer-owned clean energy

While Trump’s illegal war sends energy prices through the roof, his budget makes clear he has no intention trying to lower costs.
Instead, he wants to double down on enriching his Big Oil donors.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget — a 40% increase, the largest since WWII. In exchange for more war he wants to: -Cut the EPA budget by half -Cut $10.7 billion for housing -Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs -Cancel $15 billion for clean energy -Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water -Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training -Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department -Eliminate $395 million for senior employment -Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants -Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy -Cut $5 billion from the National Institutes of Health -Eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) In all, cuts to domestic programs would account for a 10% reduction in discretionary spending.

Taxpayers pay twice:
Trump is giving one billion taxpayer dollars to a company so it WON'T build clean offshore wind.
Fewer clean energy projects pushes up utility rates, which costs families even more.

Let’s call this what it is: a taxpayer-funded bribe to kill homegrown clean energy and hand the money straight to oil and gas executives. Trump is once again making Americans pay more for energy so his Big Oil donors can rake in even more profits.

Instead of implementing NY's climate law, Gov. Hochul has chosen to fearmonger about a version that has never been on the table. The reality: if enacted, it could deliver rebates to millions of households and drive major efficiency gains—making power more affordable and reliable.

"With low-income families and seniors feeling additional strains on their household budgets, a timely release of LIHEAP funding is even more critical to ensure families do not need to choose between paying their energy bills and other essentials, like food or medicine."

A 13% spike in energy bills over the last year is a warning sign. The Energy Bills Relief Act, introduced in Congress, will cut through the red tape blocking affordable clean energy - like wind and solar - from reaching the grid and put money back in the pockets of families.

💪 "Washington is not going backward on clean energy."
Gov. Ferguson signed legislation today that blocks the Trump admin's attempt to force an outdated power plant to keep burning coal.
State governments continue to lead on climate!

🚨 Michigan GOP just introduced bills to weaken the state’s clean energy laws.
If they succeed:
⬆️ Higher energy bills
⬇️ Less reliable power
Fully implementing these laws could save MI households ~$300/year. Tell your legislator to protect them ⬇️actnow.evergreenaction.com/page/93690/act…

I joined colleagues and advocates today to combat some of the misinformation when it comes to high utility bills.
NYSIO reports that natural gas is the primary factor in driving up utility costs and putting ratepayers on the hook for billions of dollars each year.

Americans are already struggling with the cost of getting around and the health effects of transportation pollution.
Now, Republicans in Congress are trying to pass a new tax on electric vehicles.
This is something we can’t afford to compromise on.

1️⃣ get rich by selling toxic fossil fuels
2️⃣ donate money to politicians
3️⃣ ask for favors from those politicians, so that you can sell even more toxic fossil fuels

I guess buying Trump so he would:
➡️put your cronies at DOE & DOI
➡️have them issue the drilling permits you always wanted
➡️relentlessly attack your clean energy competition
➡️give you a bunch of new tax giveaways
➡️kill standards you don't like
isn't enough for Big Oil execs🤷♂️

Thank you @LizKrueger or fighting for a more affordable NY ✊
A new report shows that a thoughtfully designed cap-and-invest program would provide nearly $270 in annual energy rebates to 6.5 million households — providing direct relief to New Yorkers ➡️cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/03…

A group of 29 state senators, led off by @LizKrueger, sent a letter to @GovKathyHochul this morning saying they “categorically oppose any effort to roll back New York’s nation leading climate law” and urging Hochul to “stand strong in the face of misinformation” re affordability
