Trump promised to cut consumers’ energy costs within his first year in office but gas price is up 4% on average
Americans using gas stoves to cook during the holidays, or any other meal in the near future, are set for persistently higher bills, with the price of gas expected to keep rising into next year.
US households will pay 4% more for gas power this year, on average, compared with 2024, with the industrial and power plant sectors experiencing a much higher price rise, a recent analysis from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has found.
The cost of gas piped into people’s homes rose by 11.7% in September, compared with a year previously, a higher rate of inflation than in any other area measured by the federal government, such as food, medical care and clothing.
Strange that they focus on gas stoves, they cost almost nothing to use. Gas heat on the other hand…
Right? Our cooking in summer months is like $3 of gas per month, plus all the fixed fees. The gas furnace in the winter months is like $150-200, each month, depending on how cold it is. And we cook at home a lot. The stove/oven usage is a rounding error.
Gas stoves are the Trojan horse for gas heating. Other than that *shrug
