Hi Ronald,
We hate to break it to you, but your electric company is scheming with Republican extremists and right-wing billionaires to kill green energy and keep your power bills sky-high. To add insult to injury, they’re using YOUR money to do it!
Power bills are more expensive than ever before, and that’s because high fossil fuel prices are being passed on to you. Your utility company then takes that money and spends it on lobbying, funneling millions of dollars through PACs to Republican politicians who then work to kill climate regulations and throw roadblocks in the switch to green electricity.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, not only are utility companies using your money to sabotage the transition to cheaper, cleaner energy sources, they’re helping insurrectionists get re-elected. Utility-run PACs and trade associations have funneled nearly $7 million into the war chests of the Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election on Trump’s behalf.
