Analysis Projects $6,500 More in Energy Costs for Households by 2040
What happened
The Charleston Gazette-Mail published coverage of an energy analysis completed by Energy Innovation. The analysis found that policies and actions taken by the Trump regime and congressional Republicans will cause households to pay an average of $6,500 more for energy cumulatively through 2040. These policies include tax breaks that reduced clean energy tax credits and environmental rollbacks, such as changes to clean air and power plant rules.

Why it matters
The analysis projects that these changes will lead to annual household energy costs rising in every state in the contiguous U.S. Furthermore, the report forecasts job losses in 47 of 48 states and losses to the gross domestic product in 46 states. The environmental rollbacks are also projected to cause 37,000 additional premature deaths from air pollution.
