An analysis circulating online claims households in the contiguous United States will pay thousands of dollars more for energy cumulatively through 2040 because of federal policy changes since President Trump returned to office, including cancellations of new clean energy projects. It estimates an average of about $6,500 more per household, with states such as Oregon, Mississippi and South Dakota facing roughly $9,000 more. The figures have not been independently verified.
Why now: Energy costs and Trump administration rollbacks of clean energy policy are a live political issue, and the claim of large household cost increases is attention-grabbing.
