Trump is making electricity more expensive–not less.
That’s because of something we’ll call the “Trump Tax”—a combination of tariffs, canceled clean energy investments, and cuts to energy affordability programs.
Now his “big, beautiful bill” could make it even worse. 🧵

Costs are rising and instead of addressing our energy affordability crisis, this administration is making it worse —blocking cheaper electrons from getting onto the grid and where they are needed most.

Costs are rising and instead of addressing our energy affordability crisis, this administration is making it worse —blocking cheaper electrons from getting onto the grid and where they are needed most.
Across New Mexico and the country, people are looking at their bills and asking how they are going to find the money to keep their lights on.
The answer is that Americans need more affordable energy - which requires more electrons on the grid, not less - and they need it now.

Outdoor recreation on public lands generates $128 BILLION in economic activity every year.
That's $351 million a day, or $14.6 million every hour.

If Trump wants to lower Americans’ electric bills, then his administration should stop cancelling fully permitted energy projects that would put more electrons on the grid and power millions of homes and businesses.

Another victory for cheap, clean energy and more importantly, the rule of law.

New Mexico is proof that when we invest in clean energy, we get more power on our grid and lower costs for consumers.

Today marks 25 years of the Roadless Rule. It’s an extremely popular conservation measure that protects many of your favorite hunting spots, hiking trails, biking routes, and fishing streams across the country. But now the Trump administration wants to repeal it.

People across the West cherish our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of our forests. In the face of Trump’s efforts to repeal this rule and sell our public lands, we’ll always keep fighting to protect these lands for future generations.

Trump promised to cut your energy bills in half. Instead they've gone up 13% since he took office.
He is single-handedly making this crisis worse.

Until there’s more electricity being generated to meet demand, your energy bill will stay high. The fastest way to meet demand is with clean energy, but Trump is killing clean energy projects and all the jobs that come with them.

Trump’s assault on clean energy sinks permitting reform. There is no path to a bill if this administration refuses to follow the law.
Trump will own higher electricity prices, aging infrastructure, & loss of U.S. competitiveness.

Sen. Heinrich: The Continental Divide Trail is part of the Triple Crown of Hiking and brings visitors from around the world to climb the spine of the North American continent. For many New Mexicans, it's their local trail where they walk their dog or spend time with their families.

The Trump energy crisis is self-inflicted.
The projects canceled or delayed since Trump’s election would have produced enough electricity to power over 13 million homes.
Now, factories are closing, utility costs are skyrocketing, and 165,000+ jobs are lost.

"If national Republicans continue to make public lands a target of budget cuts, without understanding the unique politics of them in Western states like Montana, some suggest the party will likely have to face the wrath of these voters."

Senator Gallego's energy strategy is rooted in what's most important for working families: affordability, reliability, and innovation.
Growing up poor, I know what it’s like to play ‘utility roulette’ – which bill will have to get skipped this month? What will we have to go without? Those are questions too many families are asking these days. But I've got a plan.

Trump denied disaster aid to rebuild power lines in rural Michigan after a devastating ice storm.
Now, residents could end up picking up the tab...to the tune of at least $4,500 per household.

For decades, Republicans have been slow walking progress on clean energy. That isn’t free. Home insurance premiums are through the roof because of their inaction.
Rising Home Insurance Premiums Are Eating Into Home Values in Disaster-Prone Areas
Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeowners’ finances to the breaking point.

The revenue generated by public lands is comparable to hosting 8 Super Bowls per month. They’re more than just places to recreate–they boost our national and local economies and support almost a million jobs. Cutting resources hurts more than recreationists, it hurts communities.
