Your electricity bill reveals a stark political divide: Red-state residents pay less, while blue states gouge their citizens and businesses with exorbitant electric rates. 

But even worse are the bald-faced lies of blue-state politicians who defend the gouging.

Instead of admitting that expensive electricity is a choice they’re deliberately making — your budget be damned — they constantly claim wind and solar power are “affordable” and “reliable.” 

The shameless gaslighting was on full display last week, after President Trump’s Interior Department paused offshore wind farm construction along the East Coast near Virginia, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

The administration claims the huge installations obscure radar detection of potential foreign incursions, threatening “East Coast population centers.”    

Within minutes, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont accused Trump of “making things up.”  

Gov. Kathy Hochul called the pause “B.S. “

Maybe. The announcement was short on evidence backing up the administration’s security pretext.

But the possible deception on Trump’s part is mild compared to the lies spewed by Democrats in response.

Hochul declared that wind power will “keep energy costs down” and “strengthen reliability.”
