Sterling Burnett<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Editors\u2019 Note: As two previous reports have shown (one from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/heartland.org\/publications\/biden-energy-policies-cost-us-households-more-than-1000-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022<\/a>, one from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climaterealism.com\/2023\/03\/bidens-energy-policies-cost-u-s-households-more-than-2300-since-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2023<\/a>) Biden\u2019s climate and energy policies have resulted in rising electricity, heating, and fuel costs., harming average U.S. households.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy prices continue to surge due to President Joe Biden\u2019s radical energy and climate agenda, according to an analysis by The Heartland Institute, a national free-market think tank. The analysis depended entirely on data from Biden\u2019s U.S. Energy Information Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021, household electricity prices increased 8 percent. Electricity price increases accelerated even more in 2022, and continued to rise in 2023. Since December 2020, the last month before Biden took office, residential electricity prices have increased by 23 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Points<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past three years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Residential electricity prices have increased 23 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industrial electricity prices have increased 19 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home heating oil prices have increased 69 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oil prices have increased 52 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural gas prices have increased 32 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gasoline has increased $0.97 per gallon, or 42 percent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After three years of Biden\u2019s energy policies, the average U.S. driver has spent at least an extra $548 per year in higher gasoline costs while the average household has expended $318 in higher electricity costs. Households that use natural gas have spent an extra $586 over the past three years, and those using home heating oil have paid a whopping $3,068 more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Biden entered the Oval Office, the average American household has directly paid at least $2,548 in higher direct energy costs. This is the cost calculated by averaging price increases from January 2021 through December 2023, which means the actual added cost of energy is likely even higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heartland Institute analysis states: \u201cRapidly rising energy prices are not accidental. They are the predictable result of Joe Biden\u2019s war on abundant, affordable, and reliable energy. The Biden administration has implemented dozens of policies that have caused energy prices to spike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To read the full report, click&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/heartland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-BidenEnergyCosts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy prices continue to surge due to President Joe Biden\u2019s radical energy and climate agenda, according to an analysis by The Heartland Institute, a national free-market think tank.
