Trump electricity prices wind solar.

President Donald Trump is blaming renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power for skyrocketing energy costs. With electricity prices rising at more than twice the rate of inflation, Trump called wind and solar power “THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!” in a social media post. He vowed not to approve wind or “farmer destroying Solar” projects. Energy analysts say renewable sources have little to do with recent price hikes. They say it’s due to increased demand, aging infrastructure and increasingly extreme weather events such as wildfires that are exacerbated by climate change.
