Energy costs

“Andrews’ plan would also stop data centers from passing their costs onto South Carolina families, end special tax breaks for data centers, and cut red tape standing in the way of new energy infrastructure that can help bring costs down.”

“The comprehensive proposal lays out a four-pronged offensive to ease the financial strain on working families: expanding housing accessibility, strengthening child care infrastructure to support working parents, slashing energy and grocery bills at the checkout line, and equipping local communities with the regulatory firepower to push back against unchecked corporate data center encroachment.”

“Modernize our energy grid to lower energy costs for consumers. Too much of our grid is old and inefficient. By modernizing parts of it we can increase reliability, create good-paying jobs and lower costs for families.”

“We will anchor it in massive investment in solar, wind, and battery storage, a modernized smart grid, and the energy efficiency upgrades that put money back in families’ pockets.”

“Solving the Affordability and Opportunity Crisis: Addressing the high costs of food, energy, and healthcare that are straining Kansas families.”

“We need a comprehensive, all of the above strategy that creates jobs and increases energy independence while bringing down costs for consumers today.”

“The Maine Senate unanimously enacted a bill from Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, to lower energy costs by embracing Maine’s wood energy industry on Wednesday.”

“The first bill – LD 912, “An Act To Establish the Wood Energy Investment Program” – would create a new Wood Energy Investment Program would provide incentives and low- or no-interest loans to businesses that produce energy using biomass. It would strengthen the forest products industry, lower energy costs, and increase the use of Maine wood products to generate energy.”

“On Monday, the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) took the first step toward implementing a new law from Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, to create good-paying renewable energy jobs, lower energy costs and boost economic development in Aroostook County.”

“Mainers are counting on lawmakers to do everything we can to lower energy costs and stabilize the market for the future. The Northern Maine Renewable Energy Program can play a key role in delivering significant relief.”

“Maine is in the midst of an energy crisis and the key to meaningful energy relief is in our own backyard. By unlocking the affordable, homegrown renewable energy just waiting to be generated in Aroostook County, we can lower energy costs for working families, strengthen our energy independence and create good-paying jobs in rural Maine”

“The Maine Senate unanimously approved a bill from Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, to lower energy costs by embracing Maine’s wood energy industry on Monday. LD 597, “An Act To Establish the Wood Energy Investment Program” would provide incentives and low- or no-interest loans to businesses that produce energy using biomass.”

“This bill is about writing the next chapter of Maine’s logging and forest products industry and lower energy costs for working Maine families”

“Pappas is also working to establish commonsense ways to increase energy production and lower energy costs.”

“He is standing up to the Trump Administration, which has spent the last year trying to roll back affordable energy tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act that would lower energy costs for small businesses and families.”

“So we need to pursue true energy independence and develop more homegrown, clean sources of energy. We’re beginning to do that as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, tax credits for businesses to install rooftop solar, tax credits for homes to install heat pumps and be more energy efficient and lower bills, and so that absolutely should be a priority.”

“Pappas also wrote bipartisan legislation to cut taxes for middle-class families grappling with high energy costs, which would save households hundreds of dollars a year on energy.”

“Chris also voted to invest in domestic energy production and is fighting for tax cuts to help families lower their energy bills.”

“Lowering Energy Costs and Protecting the Environment”

“Chris supports an all-of-the-above energy strategy to meet the needs of Granite Staters, lower costs, and ensure America can become truly energy independent.”

“That is why he secured federal funding to bolster clean energy in New Hampshire, build out EV charging infrastructure, and help families weatherize their homes and invest in alternative energies that keep their costs down.”

“We’re the energy leader of the world — and as Senator, I will work tirelessly to ensure our state not only maintains, but extends that innovative leadership for generations to come so that Texans always have access to reliable, affordable energy.”

“If we invest in innovation, we can add to our hundreds of thousands of oil, gas, wind, solar, and battery jobs by creating new jobs in cutting-edge technologies like geothermal and hydrogen-fueled energy. We can pioneer innovative ways to streamline permitting processes without compromising the protection of our environment — so that Texas can lead in increasing energy supply and driving down costs.”

“Andrews’ plan would also stop data centers from passing their costs onto South Carolina families, end special tax breaks for data centers, and cut red tape standing in the way of new energy infrastructure that can help bring costs down.”

“Roy Cooper believes that data centers should pay the full cost of the energy they use, and prevent those costs from being passed on to locals.”

“Against data centers raising costs, guardrails on AI to protect our kids and jobs.”

“Ensure AI data centers do not disrupt communities or raise energy costs for Americans: Guarantee large energy users like data centers fund the infrastructure improvements they need rather than passing those costs on to consumers, and support legislation to study the best ways for America to take advantage of the benefits of AI without disrupting communities.”

“That is why he secured federal funding to bolster clean energy in New Hampshire, build out EV charging infrastructure, and help families weatherize their homes and invest in alternative energies that keep their costs down.”

“Chris is also working to jumpstart American energy independence and voted for the largest-ever investment in cleaner, cheaper homegrown energy.”

“End self-destructive tariffs and unnecessary wars, which are driving up energy costs and hurting our ability to add energy capacity. Washington has repeatedly taken actions that directly increase costs and reduce affordability for Kansas families. When Washington imposes sweeping tariff taxes without a vote, the bill lands on Kansas farmers, manufacturers, and families in the form of higher prices on everything from equipment and fertilizer to groceries. The Constitution gives Congress responsibility over trade, and Congress should use it. Adam would prevent future administrations from harming Kansans by requiring congressional approval for new tariffs, and to publish the real cost to American families before those tariffs take effect. This is not a partisan idea. Kansas’s own Senator Jerry Moran has joined a bipartisan bill, the Trade Review Act, led by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington, to require exactly that.”
