State policies are a monumental factor in electricity costs, and Democrat-led states have driven prices upward through pushing aggressive mandates and choking reliable power supply, according to a new report by the Institute for Energy Research (IER).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new report<\/a>, first provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation, found that blue states generally have higher electricity costs than red states. Titled \u201cBlue States, High Rates. Electricity Prices: Elections Have Consequences,\u201d IER\u2019s report notes that all but one of the top 10 most expensive states for energy \u2014 measured by cost per kilowatt hour \u2014 are governed by Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, 80% of the states with the most affordable electricity costs per kilowatt hour are \u201creliably red,\u201d according to IER. Twenty of the 25 states with the lowest electricity prices are red states, while only four are blue, and one is purple, the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a blue state problem,\u201d IER President Tom Pyle told the DCNF, arguing that\u00a0prescribing any blame<\/a>\u00a0to President Donald Trump for soaring electricity costs is misplaced. \u201c[America needs to] put an emphasis on providing dispatchable electricity generation, namely by keeping coal plants open, even building new coal plants, nuclear and particularly natural gas. I think the administration is doing everything they can in spite of what the blue states have been doing over the years. Other words, Trump\u2019s trying to save them from themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
