As the US braces for an exceptionally hot summer, many Americans face escalating energy costs and challenges in paying their power bills. A national survey revealed almost 25% of residents struggled to pay their energy bills, while a rising concern about growing costs is reported among three out of four Americans by 2025. The issue is notable as more than three million households face power disconnections annually. The Trump administration's proposal to eliminate funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program aims at these challenges, countering claims of a forthcoming energy emergency that particularly impacts low-income residents.
It is alarming that nearly one in four Americans report being unable to pay their full energy bill for at least one month.
Secretary of Energy expressed concerns regarding utility disconnections and set a mission to eliminate them, aiming for zero disconnections.
