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 anymore 🤷♂️
a coal industry group invented a phony award for Trump
in return he's forcing the military to subsidize them, while throwing wads of cash at a bunch of dying plants to keep them on life support
I guess abusing power to pay off the corporations who bankrolled your campaign is just a wednesday now
Trump literally told a room of Big Oil CEOs last Friday that his “goal is to not let any windmill be built.” He’s trying to kill wind projects that would provide enough cheap, clean energy to power 2.5 million homes.
His promise to cut energy prices in half was a lie from day one.
We have to start treating high energy bills as the emergency families know they are, which is what this is all about.
Check out our colleagues and partners talking about the actions state leaders can take to cut bills at an event at the New Jersey Statehouse today👇 www.youtube.com/live/SxlfSND...
nooo, don't do it nooo [fades into the distance] 😀
But sure, tell us again how it’s “unrealistic” to expect Republicans to care whether their constituents live or die after being forced to choose between paying the electric bill or their health-insurance premium.
Heatwaves, wildfires, floods, hurricanes—every one made worse by the same party that denies the problem exists. The cost of health care will only keep rising because of climate-fueled natural disasters they refused to prevent.
And while they refuse to even negotiate in good faith, the climate crisis they’ve supercharged keeps driving up health costs, threatening hospital infrastructure, and sending hundreds of thousands of people to emergency rooms every year.
It wasn’t “unrealistic” when the GOP passed another multi-trillion tax cut $$$ for billionaires—triggering the largest spike in utility bills in history & ripping away health care from millions.
Dems are basically offering them an opportunity on a silver platter to clean up the crisis THEY created.
📈 @evergreenaction.bsky.social is tracking every move he makes that’s sending your energy bills through the roof in our Trump’s Energy Price Hike series.
Read my full breakdown of his latest sabotage spree here 👇 www.evergreenaction.com/press/trumps...
Trump could be using his power to deliver affordable, reliable, American-made clean energy.
Instead, he’s waging an oil-soaked crusade of political retribution that’s as dirty as the fuels he’s propping up: corrupt, costly, and paid for by the American people.
🧾 It all adds up.
Every tariff, every canceled projects, every fake investigation, every stop-work order adds up to the same result: higher bills, fewer jobs, and a dirtier, less reliable energy system.
The relentless pace at which Trump is dismantling clean energy is all part of his oil-soaked crusade: a campaign of political retribution & payback for his Big Oil donors.
He’s propping up dirty, expensive fossil fuels to protect industry profits while working families pay more.
Trump even ended a wildly-successful (and popular) program to help farmers install solar panels on their properties.
He didn't just strip farmers of a key source of savings & revenue––he’s choking off cheaper, more reliable power for rural communities. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

In the last two months, Trump also:
🤑 launched an all-of-government bailout for billionaire coal barons
⚡️ forced fossil fuel plants scheduled to retire to stay open (and costing ratepayers $ millions)
☀️ blocked renewable projects on federal lands
❌ moved to revoke permits for two more offshore wind farms in development
⛴️ canceled hundreds of millions in port funding to support offshore wind development
That ethos has defined every move he makes. In just one two week stretch, Trump:
💵 slapped tariffs on wind energy materials
🔐 opened a sham 'national security' investigation to pave the way for more
🛑 halted construction on a nearly-complete offshore wind farm
Never mind that since he took office, household electric bills have climbed 10%, rising TWICE AS FAST as the cost of living.
For Trump, punishing his opponents always comes first, no matter the price working families pay. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...
The day after Trump and Republicans shut down the government, the White house gleefully launched another act of clean energy sabotage aimed squarely at states that didn't vote for him.
It was a perfect snapshot of Trump’s governing ethos: political retribution at all costs. 🧵
Four-panel Anakin and Padmé meme. Top left: Anakin says, ‘we’re unleashing American energy dominance.’ Top right: Padmé smiles and asks, ‘so my electricity bills will drop, right?’ Bottom left: The image of Anakin staring silently is replaced by an image of Republican Speaker Mike Johnson staring silently. Bottom right: Padmé looks nervous and repeats, ‘my electricity bills will drop, right?’”
when he says "one big beautiful bill" but he means ur utility bill
Trump’s energy agenda is clear:
🔺 Jack up prices 📈
🔺 Protect fossil fuel profits 💰
🔺 Undermine America’s power supply ⚡️
He promised affordability. He’s delivering the exact opposite.
Full breakdown from me @evergreenaction.bsky.social: www.evergreenaction.com/press/trumps...
Just in the last MONTH Trump has:
❌ Gutted clean energy tax credits
❌ Tried to kill solar for 900,000 low-income homes
❌ Ignited a war on wind power
❌ Attacked private property rights to 🛑 new clean energy development
❌ Taken new regulatory actions that will ⬆️ gas prices
Utilities have already requested $29B in rate hikes this year—more than DOUBLE this time last year.
All while Trump fast-tracks energy-hungry data centers and strangles the clean power needed to supply them.
Why? Because Trump made another promise—this one to Big Oil.
In exchange for $1 billion in campaign cash, he pledged to gut environmental protections and hand out massive tax breaks. Six months in, that’s the only promise he’s kept. www.politico.com/news/2024/05...
Trump promised to cut energy prices in half. Instead, his policies are hiking bills across the country.
The math is simple: block cheap new clean energy while demand skyrockets → prices go up. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Trump’s own Energy Secretary admitted the truth: “We’re going to get blamed.”
And he’s right. Trump’s war on clean energy is driving electricity bills up for working families—while padding fossil fuel profits. 🧵
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
