Trump energy policy backlash raises dual burden of electricity and gasoline costs
An analysis said U.S. electricity rates and gasoline prices have risen since the start of the Donald Trump administration, while a fossil fuel-focused energy policy could increase the country’s long-term burden. The Natural Resources Defense Council said the policy is raising power costs and fuel consumption and discouraging clean energy investment. It cited higher household electricity bills, surging gasoline prices, and risks of lost investment, jobs and higher social costs from air pollution.
