Trump’s Natural Gas Exports Drive Up Energy Bills — Truthout
Expanded U.S. natural gas exports have tightened domestic supply, pushing up utility costs for families already struggling with rising expenses. Analysts say the policy prioritizes corporate profits and global markets over affordability at home—while locking in more climate-warming pollution. The result is higher bills today and greater climate risk tomorrow.
Why It Matters: Energy policy decisions determine whether families pay the price—or share in a clean, affordable future.
