Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) slammed the Trump Administration after a new report showed that energy prices are increasing under the Trump Administration. In Virginia, households are paying on average $130 more\u2013 a 7.3 percent increase \u2013 in annual energy costs compared to last year. This comes after President Donald Trump declared an \u201cenergy emergency\u201d to cancel clean energy projects across the country.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump promised Americans lower costs, energy independence, and more good paying jobs, yet he is canceling energy projects across Virginia and the country, triggering higher utility bills, weakening the American power grid, growing our reliance on foreign energy, and cutting jobs,\u201d said Sen. Warner. \u201cIn the Senate, my Democratic colleagues and I are focused on diversifying America\u2019s energy sources, and we\u2019re going to continue doing everything we can to lower utility costs for families.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe U.S. was producing more energy than any country in the world, but on President Trump\u2019s first day in office, he declared an \u2018energy emergency\u2019 to cancel clean energy projects across the country, including in Virginia. I\u2019ve forced votes in the Senate to overturn this sham emergency, but my Republican colleagues have refused to do so,\u201d said Sen. Kaine. \u201cNow, Americans are paying the price. This new report underscores what I\u2019ve been saying all along: we must stop President Trump\u2019s war on American-made energy that is killing jobs and raising energy costs for Virginians.\u201d\n\nDemocrats have made significant investments in clean energy, spurring the highest levels of factory construction in U.S. history with more than 400,000 new jobs announced across the country. However, Trump\u2019s \u201cenergy emergency\u201d and Republicans\u2019 rollback of provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act are killing these new jobs, weakening the power grid, increasing our reliance on foreign energy, and raising energy costs.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=6CC47BAD-7D7B-4542-ADA9-5E0D5DF39FC2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5455679967999458, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
