Reply to comment by DisastrousFudge3593 in Can anyone explain Ashley Marie Kalus's energy policy? by sriracha_Salad

You know what lowered energy prices? Trumps tax cuts. https://www.inquirer.com/philly/business/energy/pa-puc-electricity-rate-cuts-lower-federal-taxes-20180517.html

Ironically every time democrats pass a bill aimed at lowering costs of something that something goes up in price. Education, healthcare with the ACA, energy policies that put oil and coal plants out of business -that drives up the price. Going all electric, you think a poor person can afford an electric car?

Did you read that article lol it isn’t not at all what you said … and doesn’t reflect republicans reducing the costs of anything’… it says some people also received an increase in rates . SMH… and it also says that the decreases were only bc the state law that required those companies to reduce their rates. Most companies got the tax break and profited for themselves and nobody saw the benefits of them.

They said the water rates increased but didn’t talk about why. And yea, utility rates should go down because the ratepayers pay the federal taxes. It’s called cause and effect.
