📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills.
Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.

It’s impossible to ignore the toll that #climatechange is taking on Texas. Smarter, cleaner energy policies and resources will counter the threats we all face. #txlege www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...
Climate scientists have predicted greater flooding in Texas for decades. It’s happening now | Houston Public Media
Warmer air holds more water. When that air encounters the right weather conditions, bigger storms emerge.
