Media Cite ‘Nonpartisan’ Research To Blame Trump For Rising Energy Costs, Hide CEO’s Role Writing Subsidy Law
Energy Innovation CEO Sonia Aggarwal, Biden’s former climate adviser, goes unmentioned in coverage of her firm’s study.

Recent reports in NPR, CBS News, and CNBC have cited a study from a “nonpartisan” research firm, Energy Innovation, to argue that President Donald Trump’s repeal of green energy subsidies will cause energy prices to spike. [emphasis, links added]


Those reports did not mention the firm’s CEO and cofounder: Sonia Aggarwal, a former Biden climate adviser who helped write those very subsidies into law.

Energy Innovation’s study, which also generated coverage in CNN and the Chicago Tribune, argues that Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill will lead to higher energy prices for U.S. households by phasing out green energy subsidies and slowing electric vehicle purchases.

It’s the latest in a long line of studies from the firm, which is known to produce research warning of the downsides to oil and gas while extolling the benefits of green energy alternatives.

Media’s Latest Spin: Blame Trump For Rising Energy Prices, Ignore Dems’ Aggressive Green Policies
Legacy media criticize Trump for soaring energy prices while turning a blind eye to the real causes: Biden-era grid-crushing policies.

The corporate media is suggesting that President Donald Trump and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) are responsible for rising electricity prices rather than the aggressive green energy policies of Democrats and former President Joe Biden, who himself presided over a major spike in prices. [emphasis, links added]


Several major corporate media outlets have linked Trump’s OBBBA to climbing energy prices, despite data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showing that electricity bills were already on the rise, shooting up during the middle of the Biden administration.

Energy experts, grid watchdogs, and operators have long warned that the Biden-era green energy push threatens grid security and drives up electricity costs, as power demand also surges from the booming artificial intelligence (AI) sector.
