Trump Blames Windmills As Coal Gets $625M Comfort Blanket
Americans faced a brutal electric shock this month with bills soaring over 30% since 2020, nearly doubling inflation rates according to the EIA. President Trump, fulfilling his role as the political Grinch, blamed sunshine and breezes for the soaring costs and pledged $625 million to save the US coal industry — because nothing screams 'progress' like throwing cash at a dying dinosaur. Meanwhile, 80 million Americans juggle between paying bills or buying healthcare, while energy nerds wax lyrical about how electric car sales have slowed but promise the future will be cheaper by 2050. Spoiler: until then, your wallet’s on a slow roast.

(1 of 3)Electric bills up 30% since 2020 and Trump’s blaming wind turbines — like a toddler blaming the family dog for broken vase, while handing coal miners $625 million. Meanwhile, millions pick between heating or health care. Progress? More like a cash fossil fever dream.
Nothing says 'peak adulthood' like your electric bill clocking in higher than your rent while politicians blame renewable energy like it’s responsible for their divorce.
Pay more for electricity, thanks to tariffs and delayed power lines, or keep your lights off and dream of the $625 million coal bailout nobody asked for.
