President Donald Trump has criticized wind power policies, attributing rising electricity prices and supply shortages in New Jersey to the use of windmills. He claimed that energy prices in the state have increased by 28% this year and called for a halt to windmill projects. The Trump administration's Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, acknowledged that the administration would be blamed for rising power prices but placed responsibility on Democrats, denying that efforts to limit solar and wind development have caused cost increases. Meanwhile, Democrats have countered by highlighting that under Trump's tenure, utilities have requested $29 billion in rate hikes, doubling the previous year, and that Trump recently cut $156 million in federal funding from Michigan aimed at lowering energy costs, which would have saved families about $400 annually. Reports indicate that electric bills have risen by 10% nationally so far this year, with projections suggesting further increases. The debate reflects ongoing partisan disagreements over clean energy policies and their impact on consumer electricity prices.
