00:00Green energy. One of Donald Trump's core promises on the campaign trail, he would lower energy costs, he said, by 50%.
00:08But the opposite is happening. Energy costs are soaring across the country.
00:13People are paying more on their monthly electricity bills.
00:17Small businesses are struggling just to keep the lights on, and Donald Trump and the Republicans' big, ugly, energy-killing bill is about to make energy costs go even higher.
00:26Under the Republicans' bill, the average national electricity price would go up about 10%.
00:32American families will pay $32 billion more in household energy costs.
00:37Clean energy projects that would lower costs would face massive new taxes.
00:43And that's not to mention the hundreds of thousands of jobs, hundreds of thousands, it's estimated as much as 800,000, would be lost.
00:52And they would occur, especially in red states.
00:54Republicans, did you hear that?
00:56You're throwing hundreds of thousands of people working in your states and good-paying jobs out of work.
01:01All to embrace the ideology of the extremists in the fossil fuel community.
01:11Bottom line is simple.
01:14The oil and gas magnates.
01:17The fossil fuel community hates clean energy because they know it's the future, because they know it's cheaper, they know it's the quickest way to get more energy.
01:24Are Republicans so truly beholden to the fossil fuel industry, who harbors blind hatred of clean energy because they know it's the future?
01:36Are they so beholden?
01:37If we need more energy because of AI and everything else, why are we cutting off one of the main ways we can get new energy, in terms of wind and solar, hydro, and things like that?
01:52Are Republicans really willing to send energy costs for families skyrocketing just to satisfy the ideological hatred the fossil fuel industry has for clean energy?
02:04The fossil fuels industry knows its days are numbered and wants to cut off an alternative, and that's going to make prices go up, and let China become the leader in clean energy, which our children and grandchildren will pay a dear price for.
02:20So, Senate Democrats are going to fight this bill with everything we've got, so families don't have to foot the bill for Donald Trump's disastrous energy policies.
