Trump executive order leads to $100 energy bill hike for hundreds in Alabama

Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. "[W]e're going to make it a much -- a much different place," Trump said during a November 14 speech at Mar-a-Lago. "We're going to slash energy costs. We're going to get your energy bills in half."

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. About 250 customers of Huntsville Utilities, the public utility company in Huntsville, Alabama, received a letter informing them that their account "has been debited $100." The surcharge occurred because one of Trump's executive orders froze a grant that assists low-income residents with their energy bills.

In an email, Mike Presley of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs confirmed that the letter from Huntsville Utilities was genuine and the $100 increase was the direct result of Trump's executive order.
