Report cited in clip says electricity prices rose 13% nationwide this year
Summary
An unspecified report cited in the segment said electricity prices rose 13% nationwide this year; the audio links higher energy costs to recent federal policy changes but does not identify the report or provide methodology.
A reporter stated that an unspecified report found the nationwide price of electricity rose 13% this year, and said energy prices are "climbing more than twice as fast as inflation" as effects of recent federal policy changes take hold.
The claim was presented without a named author or data source. The clip frames the price jump as connected to administration actions when it says, "The Trump EPA's committed to bringing down costs for American families by ending the whiplash of the radical climate agenda," and then links that policy shift to energy-price increases.
The segment does not identify the report that produced the 13% figure, its geographic or temporal scope beyond "this year," or the methodology used to calculate the change. Because the source is not named in the recording, the figure cannot be independently confirmed from the transcript.
Absent attribution in the clip, energy analysts typically note that retail electricity prices can vary by region, fuel mix and regulatory changes. The segment did not include any response or clarification from federal energy agencies or the report's authors.
The recording ends this item by restating the policy link and moving on to insurance and grocery-cost claims.
