“Any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS. THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday morning in his first real followup on his 2024 campaign trail pledge to cut home energy costs by half within his first year in office.
The social media screech comes a day after Politico reported Energy Secretary Chris Wright told them that “The momentum of the Obama-Biden policies, for sure that destruction is going to continue in the coming years. That momentum is pushing prices up right now. And who’s going to get blamed for it? We’re going to get blamed because we’re in office,” which is probably what prompted Trump’s shitposting. Electricity prices averaged 5.5 higher in July over the previous year.
