Energy bills are already squeezing household budgets — and new analysis suggests federal policy changes could make that affordability problem even worse.

According to Energy Innovation, recent federal energy policy changes could cost the average U.S. household an additional $6,500 in energy expenses through 2040, with costs projected to rise in every state in the contiguous U.S.

Those policies didn’t happen by accident. President Trump and Republicans in Congress have backed changes to clean energy incentives and other energy policies that the analysis says will increase demand and drive costs higher.

For Wisconsin families already paying more for everyday essentials, higher energy bills are one more expense household budgets don’t need.

Households in the contiguous United States will pay thousands of dollars more for energy through 2040 because of federal policy changes since President Donald Trump returned to office, such as canceling new clean energy projects

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

A blast from the past! These are just a few of our favorite folks, talking about what they loved about a past FTW Convening they attended!

In less than a week, we’ll be doing it all again. We hope you can join us for some great conversations.

What does “thriving” look like to you? How are other states filling the gaps to help make the sustainable attainable? Who should get a say about large-scale projects in our communities?

We’re going to be talking about all these topics and more at Forward Together Wisconsin’s Fall Convening in Milwaukee in less than one week, and we really hope you’ll join us: Please register to join us on Thursday, October 8th, for Building a Cleaner Wisconsin Together: From Sustainability to Thriving!

This year’s event is shaping up to be a great one, full of robust conversations about Wisconsin’s clean future. Attendees will hear from some special guest speakers (more details on that to come!) and have an opportunity to step inside TRUE Skool. Milwaukee’s Center for Transformative Creative Arts and Hip Hop Culture is welcoming guests to a fast-paced, immersive 20-minute tour following our Fall Convening. You can experience how TRUE Skool builds sustainable youth and community development from their basement studios and learn what’s next!

While the powers that be in our country lower the fuel economy standards, creating more emissions that hurt our most vulnerable, in Wisconsin we have other innovative ways to achieve energy independence.
From Governor Tony Evers
“MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), today announced 42 locations will receive grant awards to build fast, reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Wisconsin. Supported by $25 million that Gov. Evers and the Evers Administration fought for and secured through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), these fast-charging stations will help ensure residents and visitors alike have access to the charging infrastructure needed to travel from point A to point B in Wisconsin. This is especially important as our state experiences record fuel prices and destabilized traditional fuel costs.”
