Recent analysis indicates that Trump's current energy policy is driving electricity costs upward, contradicting his campaign promise to reduce electric bills by half. CNN reports on the discrepancy between these promises and the findings of the new analysis.

Meanwhile, The Courier-Journal argues that rising costs make the use of fossil fuels difficult to justify. Other coverage from Axios and Heatmap News focuses on the resilience of Biden's climate laws and the progress of carbon cuts despite losses to the IRA.
