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
My steam boiler (nat gas) costs significantly less to heat my house than my heat pumps. I wish it wasn’t true, although I do much prefer radiators to the air regardless.
That’s strange. Do you live in a very cold climate?
It’s cold today, for New Jersey. It just works out that electric costs way more than the radiators, and they just work really well. I’ll use the mini splits if it’s maybe 50 out, and I’m just looking for a burst of heat, but for continued use, which we have been lately in Jersey, the radiators have been the way to go for my bills.
Sounds like fake news. Dear Leader Trump personally told me prices were down 8000%. He said everyone knows it. All the best people are saying it.
“Under my administration, we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months” “Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

Noble gas.
What’s infuriating is over the summer they ran out of storage and were charging negative rates. https://eastdaley.com/daley-note/is-matterhorn-running-full-negative-gas-prices-haunt-permian-producers-this-spring
Electricity costs are even crazier soooooo…
