Banning words won't help Trump lower energy costs for voters. Via @POLITICO: Among 22 states that drew higher-than-average shares of their power from wind and solar, 17 had below-average electricity prices in June, according to EIA data. 13 of those green-heavy, low-cost states backed Trump in 2024.
