Since President Donald Trump took office, American energy bills have risen significantly, with electric bills increasing by 13% in 2025, according to Climate Power. The report attributes rising costs to a spending bill Trump signed that removed cheaper energy sources and delayed multiple projects, resulting in nearly 25,000 megawatts of planned energy generation loss. Additionally, rising demand from data centers and extreme heat is expected to further increase prices. Critics argue that Trump’s energy policies favor fossil fuels over renewable sources, exacerbating affordability issues.
