Hundreds of people in Alabama were recently notified that their energy bills will spike thanks to President Donald Trump‘s recent executive orders.

Alabama went for Trump in the 2024 election by more than 30 percentage points.

“Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump’s actions in the White House,” wrote Judd Legum on X, along with a letter from Huntsville Utilities to its customers.

“Community Action Agency of Huntsville/Madison & Limestone Counties has notified us that the grant you received for $100.00 on January 23, 2025 is no longer valid due to President Trump’s executive order to rescind the funding behind the grant,” the letter read.

Americas energy, not the citizens. He owns America now so it's his bills he's lowering, not yours.
