Utilities

“I’ll support tax credits that help families save energy and pay less for heat and electricity.”

“Fight to hold utility companies accountable. Lower utility bills by strengthening consumer protections, expanding energy efficiency programs, and holding corporations accountable.”

“Cracking down on utility monopolies and expanding Iowa’s clean energy economy to lower energy bills”

“High costs are crushing almost everyone but the wealthiest Americans – housing, healthcare, electricity, groceries, childcare and eldercare. We need to build more housing, produce cheaper renewable energy, and make sure markets actually work to give consumers real choices.”

“Cut utility bills by holding monopoly utility companies accountable, tying profits to performance, and banning pass-through costs to ratepayers for private jets, lobbying fees, and campaign donations”

“I’ll work to modernize our energy supply and prevent data centers from taking advantage of us, so that you pay lower utility bills.”

“Congress must act to address the rising cost of basic needs, such as health care, housing, child care, groceries, and utilities.”

“I'll push for federal standards that make sure large tech and AI companies pay their fair share for the water, power, and utilities they consume, rather than shifting those costs onto local ratepayers.”

“We should do everything we can to get the benefits of AI – from new and faster cures for disease to less time wasted – without massive lay-offs, letting ourselves be helpless in the face of algorithms that addict our kids to AI-created content that makes it hard to know truth from lies, or a data center buildout that drives up electricity costs for families. We need guardrails. And we need to protect workers.”

“Utility costs are already too high. The last thing we need are data centers raising our energy costs while an out-of-state corporation gets rich.”

“Pay their own way and supply their own energy resources. Produce your own energy, don’t poison our water, and don’t jack up utility costs for local businesses and residents.”

“We have to ensure data center companies pay their fair share, protect residents from rate hikes, ensure grid reliability, protect water resources and our environment, and protect nearby homes from excessive noise pollution, while making sure local residents’ voices are heard and listened to.”

“Families are already paying more for electricity, and they shouldn’t be left footing the bill while massive corporations profit. We need common-sense rules for where and how data centers are built so local communities aren’t stuck with higher utility costs or greater environmental risks.”

“If I’m elected to Congress, I’ll work to make sure data centers are held to clear national standards that ensure families are protected from increased utility bills, protect our drinking water, strengthen our electric grid, and put local communities ahead of corporate interests.”

“I’ll work to modernize our energy supply and prevent data centers from taking advantage of us, so that you pay lower utility bills.”

“Massive tech companies shouldn’t be allowed to come in and build loud, sprawling data centers that drain our water and raise utility costs. I’ll always stand up for working Texans, and make sure we aren’t stuck paying the bill for these out of state tech companies.”

“Big AI is driving up our electric bills while buying influence in Washington. Angela supports a moratorium on new data center construction until there are real federal protections for workers, ratepayers, and communities, not more blank checks for Silicon Valley.”

“Nationally, data centers have added an estimated $23 billion to electric bills this year. Angela supports a national moratorium on new data center construction until Congress passes real protections for workers, ratepayers, and communities.”

“Make data centers pay their own way. Require full-cost payment for the grid capacity they demand, non-refundable grid connection payments, and performance bonds, so ratepayers aren't left covering stranded infrastructure — following laws already passed in Oklahoma, Ohio, and Indiana”

“That’s why I’m calling for a moratorium on new data center development in our community. Before we approve another data center, we need to know that energy costs won’t be passed on to ratepayers, how much water and electricity it will consume, and how many long-term local jobs it will actually create.”

“Fight to hold utility companies accountable. Lower utility bills by strengthening consumer protections, expanding energy efficiency programs, and holding corporations accountable.”

“Utilities: We have to unleash the American energy enterprise and fast track innovative new sources of energy to bring down utilities costs. Hold large utility companies responsible for price gouging consumers.”

“Hold monopoly utility companies accountable to reduce electricity prices”

“Invest in renewable energy projects and restore the clean energy tax credits to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources while lowering utility costs. Michigan families are seeing their electricity bills rise while old coal plants are forced to operate and utility executives make a fortune – that’s got to end.”

“Mike continues to deliver for rural California — leading on climate resilience, holding PG&E accountable, and making sure small towns get their fair share.”

“Freeze electricity rates and deliver immediate relief. Skyrocketing utility bills are a crisis today. Claire will fight to enact a federal freeze on residential electricity bills, giving working families immediate protection from rate increases while we invest in the clean and affordable energy system of tomorrow.”

“To ensure that utilities do not use a rate freeze as an excuse to slow investment, the freeze will be paired with federal incentives conditioned on utilities meeting clean energy buildout. Big commercial and industrial customers, including data centers, will remain exposed to market rates, preserving the price signal for those with the ability to curtail energy demand while protecting households who depend on electricity for basic needs.”

“Co-sponsored legislation to prohibit gas and electric utility companies from making campaign contributions to state and local political candidates.”

“Cut utility bills by holding monopoly utility companies accountable, tying profits to performance, and banning pass-through costs to ratepayers for private jets, lobbying fees, and campaign donations”

“SB 378 (Wiener; bill failed): Holding PG&E accountable for its mass blackouts. SB 378 will require PG&E to compensate people and businesses for damages they sustain during planned blackouts and prohibits PG&E from charging customers for service during these blackouts. The legislation also bans PG&E from lobbying against public power and other alternative approaches to power delivery.”

“Supported state funding for free transit and energy assistance programs to help federal workers weather government shutdowns and economic uncertainty.”

“He is also authoring legislation to streamline permitting for balcony plug-in solar for renters, heat pumps, and utility-scale solar projects, and to allow San Francisco to break up with PG&E and form its own public utility.”

“While in the State Senate I voted to end the 7% sales tax on utility bills to help lower Hoosiers’ costs.”

“As Senate Leader, he passed the largest affordability package in decades, providing $60 billion in electric bill rebates for consumers, expanding the renters tax credit, deploying high-speed broadband to thousands of rural homes and businesses, expanding the first-time home buyers program, and making it easier to build more housing, which will expand opportunities for working families.”

“I’ll take on monopolization — from the food industry to our utilities — so corporations don’t control too much business and the free market can work its magic.”

“Utility bills continue to rise, and the spread of new data centers threaten to push prices even higher.”
