US electricity prices skyrocket under Trump, hitting highest levels in years

Yeah, turns out, fighting back against green energy and tariffing Mexico/Canada either has predictable side effects, or even at the best case for Trump, came at a bad time.

Between January and June 2025, electricity prices in the US have risen approximately 6%, according to official data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The national average price per kilowatt-hour increased from 17.9¢ in January to 19.0¢ in June, marking a confirmed 6.15% increase over the six-month period.

Separately, the independent Energy Information Administration and related market aggregators — which compile national utility filings –report slightly different averages but confirm a similar rate of acceleration.

Their data places the average residential price at 15.95¢/kWh in January, climbing to 16.44¢ in February, 17.11¢ in March and reaching 17.45¢ by July 2025.

"You can't blame Trump for a rise in demand!"

Actually yes, I can. Some of it, at least, is due to Trump's direct actions done in public on purpose.

The sharpest growth has occurred since Trump’s return to the White House, with the early months of 2025 showing some of the fastest monthly gains in recent years.

Electricity prices have surged in 2025 due to rising demand from data centers needed to power artificial intelligence technology as well as the strain on the energy grid caused by the rising popularity of electric vehicles.

Other factors pushing up the price of electricity include population growth as well as volatile natural gas prices and global energy disruptions.

Utilities are also passing on the costs of major grid upgrades, equipment shortages, and inflation while Trump administration policies rolling back clean energy tax credits have made renewable projects more expensive and slowed their expansion.

"Hah, you blamed electric vehicles! Only a...uh..."

You forgot about Trump personally appearing in a Tesla ad, didn't you?

Yeah, Trump is pushing AI hard, and while his direct advocation for its energy-eating is possibly not his direct fault, I am going to point out he said he'd have the Ukraine war over by now, and instead has sanctioned and tariffed Russia. Inflation, that's him. And of course:

In July, Trump signed the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping energy package that expanded oil and gas leasing, limited federal clean energy subsidies and eliminated tax credits for wind and solar energy.

As a result, the average household electricity bill has increased by approximately $219 since 2022, reaching nearly $1,900 per year in 2025.

Some analysts project that the policies in the “Big Beautiful Bill” will raise household electricity bills by $600/year over the next decade for the average US family.

Imagine being so happy that you voted for a terrorist dictator pedophile that you're willing to hand over $600 extra just for the privilege.

If you want to take advantage of the tax credit, sign your contract for those solar panels and battery system before December 31, 2025. The same goes for heat pump, and high efficiency windows and insulation.

Obama should be pleased to recall the decision in Trump v. United States, which restated the high burden for criminal prosecution of a President for official acts.

I don't see anything significant coming from this investigation of declassified documents. We already know that Obama officials lied to Congress and spoke lies in public and mislead the American people. That's public record. Particularly Brennan, and particularly the individuals surrounding the FISA warrant and the use of the Steele dossier. I doubt any judge and jury will find actual criminal culpability. No political appointee or lifelong bureaucrat would be so dumb as to document criminal misdeeds for an investigation, at least not in the Obama administration. Any investigation would only document much of what we already know from the Mueller report and the Durham report, with *maybe* extra details on the political machinations behind the scenes.

How angry are you that Trump, your homeboy, refuses to release the Epstein files?

"So we're taking a look, and it looks like it's about 3.1 billion [dollars]," Trump said. "Went up a little bit — or a lot."

"I haven't heard that from anybody at the Fed," Powell responded.

The Fed chair then took the document, looked at it and said the additional costs the president was citing had been for a separate building whose construction was completed five years ago.

What can I say. Comedy gold at its best.

Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order.

So, the difference between making housing for the homeless for Democrats, and making housing for the homeless for Republicans, is "civil commitment" aka "being locked in there".

I tell you what, if literally any Represenative, any Senator, or any Presidential candidate who votes for this were to live in this housing for one year, I would vote for this on principle.

"They could be medical care facilities."

Interesting theory. The only time the word "medical" appears in there is not with regard to care.

require those funding recipients to share such data with law enforcement authorities in circumstances permitted by law and to use the collected health data to provide appropriate medical care to individuals with mental health diagnoses or to connect individuals to public health resources.

They have to surrender their medical records in case the doctors need to be called. No, these are not medical care facilities. Those have doctors.

About that.

U.S. Homes Are Not Selling, and Prices Continue to Rise

The NYTimes cites the NAR, saying

Last month, sales of existing homes dropped by 2.7 percent from the previous month, while the median home price, at $435,300, hit a record high for the month of June.

June is supposed to be the height of the spring housing season, the time of year when Americans move before their attention shifts to summer vacations, the next school year and the winter holidays. Sales typically pick up again in the fall, but not enough to compensate for a lackluster spring. And this spring has been anything but active. In a sign that buyers are skittish about making a large purchase in an uncertain economy, about 15 percent of June deals fell apart, the highest level for the month of June on record, according to Redfin.

Home prices are high because there isn’t enough supply. The country has simply not built enough homes to keep up with population growth, and existing homeowners, most of whom have mortgage rates below 4 percent, have little incentive to sell their existing homes. In June, listings fell 3.2 percent from the previous month, the biggest month-over-month decline in more than two years, according to Redfin.

"Surely this is not a magical new event that happened the second Trump took office."

It is not. But making new homes more expensive by putting tariffs on building materials will make it worse. Rising prices in general leading to inflation will make it worse. And, while this is unrealistic, firing Powell and just dictating that the fed rate is 1% will make things worse.

"Why would a 1% mortgage rate be bad for buyers?"

Oh, it wouldn't. It would mean no banks gave loans. Why would anyone give a 1% rate loan, with or without collateral, when the rate of inflation was 2.7%? Trump would be dictating that all banks that give loans or renegotiate loans (his end game) will lose large piles of money. Nobody can afford a house now, and if there are no mortgages, that will get worse.

CBS Sports reports that the Cleveland Guardians have responded to Trump's demand they change their team name back.

No.

"They did not say that."

Not something I'm tracking or have been paying a lot of attention to, but I would say generally I understand that there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago. But obviously it's a decision we've made and we've gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future.

Yes, they did. The nice way of translating that is "No." The less nice way to translate that is "No, you're old, fat, retarded and senile. We can just wait until you die."

Well, The White House is big mad at South Park. Because their whole opening episode of the 27th season was dedicated on bashing on him. Best part is, Paramount(now Skydance since the merger was approved of) just signed a contract for $1.5 billion for 50 episodes over the next 5 years. So I can see a LOT more of this coming since South Park rarely backs down.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv...on-1236328272/

The president was depicted similarly to South Park’s portrayal of Saddam Hussein in its 1999 feature-length movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut: ill-tempered, conniving and cruel. The depiction of Trump’s fully nude, small penis, which is on full display while he is in bed with Satan, is topped only by a show-capping phony public service announcement in which an AI-rendered Trump walks through the desert, his penis soon exposed and speaking to him.

White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers reacted to the episode on Thursday, suggesting it represents the hypocrisy of the political left, lobbing insults at the Comedy Central show and touting Trump’s delivery on his promises.

“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end — for years, they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offense’ [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” Rogers said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”

Thank you for this. This may be the funniest, and most perfect representation of the difference between Trump supporters, and sane human beings.
