Democrats Make Electricity Unaffordable
Democrats have chosen to make “affordability” their theme for the 2026 midterm elections. This is ironic, since the big jump in the cost of living, around 10%, happened during the Biden administration and was the direct result of Biden administration policies. Nothing much has happened since Donald Trump took office 11 months ago; price increases have been modest, in keeping with historic levels. Some prices, like gasoline, have fallen. The problem is the big decline in the purchasing power of the dollar that we saw under Joe Biden.
Energy prices are a key element in the cost of living, since they affect the price of everything else. Here, the verdict is in: expensive electricity is a blue state problem.
And:
Why does electricity cost more in blue states? It’s no mystery. They have adopted anti-consumer mandates requiring the use of expensive and unreliable wind and solar electricity, which need natural gas backup to avoid blackouts. So residents of blue states pay twice.
