An analysis circulating online claims households in the contiguous United States will pay thousands of dollars more for energy through 2040 because of federal policy changes since Trump returned to office, including cancelled clean energy projects. It estimates an average cumulative increase of $6,500 per household, with some states such as Oregon, Mississippi and South Dakota facing around $9,000 more. The figures are being shared as a warning about the cost of rolling back clean energy support.
Why now: Rising energy prices and recent federal rollbacks of clean energy policy are making cost projections newly relevant.
