Climate activist predicts high electricity prices and Trump’s attacks on green energy will hurt GOP
Trump policies rolling back clean energy and freezing offshore wind projects contributed to a 12.8% rise in U.S. electricity prices through October 2025, McKibben warns.
- Bill McKibben installed his fourth iteration of plug-in solar panels from Bright Saver on his Vermont home this month, feeding excess power to the grid.
- Policy shifts including expirations and rollbacks, such as Federal clean-energy tax incentives expiring on Dec. 31 and the Trump administration freezing five offshore wind projects last month, have slowed clean energy growth.
- U.S. Energy Information Administration data show the national average electricity price rose from 15.94 to 18.07 and then 17.98 cents per kWh, increasing 12.8% over 10 months, adding about $18 monthly at 900 kWh.
- On Friday, the Trump administration and a bipartisan group of governors pressed the grid operator to boost supplies, with Taylor Rogers emphasizing reliable, affordable electricity as a top priority.
- Despite falling global prices, U.S. permitting and installation costs remain high, while the United Nations found China leads renewable technology and McKibben predicted electricity will impact the 2026 election.
