Residents of blue states with aggressive climate policies are paying significantly more for electricity and fuel than red states, according to a new report by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New York and New Jersey are seven of the top eight continental states in terms of highest average retail electricity prices in 2023,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to ALEC\u2019s report. Each of these states have some sort of green energy mandate, which the ALEC report refers to as a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), or participates in a greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Americans continue facing risks to their energy needs, recent government policies implemented in the name of political agendas ignore the real-life realities Americans face as a consequence,\u201d ALEC\u2019s Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force Manager Joe Trotter said of the report and its findings.\u00a0(RELATED: \u2018Out Of Bullets\u2019: Biden Admin Fears The Return Of $5 Per Gallon After They Drained Strategic Oil Reserves)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
