Rising Electricity Bills & Pain at the Pump Give Rise to “The Energy Bill Voter”
In The News: League of Conservation Voters Victory Fund Campaign
Rising electricity bills and pain at the pump are the key concern of “The Energy Bill Voter” — a voting bloc identified by The League of Conservation Voters Victory Fund (LCVVF). They now have a campaign to reach these voters that could be the difference between a House of Representatives controlled by MAGA Republicans and one where Democrats are in charge.
Trump, the MAGA Congress, Big Oil, and Big Tech — voters are starting to make the connections, and this campaign will strengthen and grow that awareness.
In a memo obtained by Axios, LCVVF lays out the case for their campaign. Here are some highlights.
51% of undecided voters in battleground states identify utility bill costs as their #1 voting priority.
Minus-41. That’s where new polling has Trump when asked by voters if he was “making things better for consumers when it comes to energy prices.” When he took office he was at +15. That’s a 56-point swing.
For areas with new Data Centers, the wholesale cost of electricity has risen 267%, driving up electric bills for consumers, according to Bloomberg.
Big Oil has earned $30 million every hour of unearned windfall profits off the first month of the Iran War, according to The Guardian.
Back on July 1, 2025, after the vote on the grotesque, Orwellian “Big Beautiful Bill,” I called for the defeat of all Republicans until the Republican Party has been completely reformed and strongly supportive of bold climate action at the speed and scale necessary.
So I’m quite pleased to see this campaign to target “Energy Bill Voters” by the League of Conservation Victory Fund.
But The Climate Movement and Climate Action Supporters must not think simply defeating our political opponents will result in climate action at speed and scale. We must be ready to push Democrats to lead on clean energy that lowers energy bills and overcomes climate change simultaneously. Clean energy prices show we can do both! Join us!
