Accountability.

Affordability.

American Energy.

The Broken Promise

Americans were told historic grid investments would modernize infrastructure and lower bills. Instead, families and businesses are paying more than ever — even as billions flow to utilities, data centers, and Wall Street investors.

The Numbers Don't Add Up

Bills Up 19% in 3 Years

Avg. monthly bill rose from $121 (2021) to $154 (2025) — outpacing groceries, vehicles, and prescription drugs.

$178B Transmission Buildout

Utilities invested $32.6B in transmission in 2024, with $39.9B projected for 2025 — 2028.

254 rate increases

112 million customers hit with 254 rate increases requested or implemented since January 2025.

This is not just an affordability problem — it is an accountability failure. Customers are financing historic energy investments with no guarantee they will share in its benefits.
