Blaming President Trump for today’s electricity costs is like blaming the bartender for your hangover. The higher bills families face today are the binge drinking; phasing out endless subsidies is the Alka-Seltzer that helps us sober up. According to a recent CATO analysis, the Inflation Reduction Act’s energy subsidies would have cost taxpayers $4.7 trillion by 2050. Advocates promised savings because wind and solar are “free,” but reality tells a different story: since 2004, residential rates have surged past inflation, saddling Coloradans with the Mountain West’s highest electricity costs. Rahm Emanuel is right that Americans are angry about rising electricity costs.
