🔥 How Democrats in New York & New Jersey are about to get BURNED by their own Green New Deal

Thanks to Democrat “green” mandates, utility bills are EXPLODING by hundreds (even thousands) a year.

And this could flip blue strongholds red. 🧵👇

2/ 🚨 In New York:

The state just approved rate hikes that’ll hammer families with $600 a year in higher bills.

Con Edison wants ANOTHER 11% increase for electric and 13% for gas.

All thanks to Kathy Hochul’s climate agenda.

3/ 🚨 In New Jersey:

Electric bills TRIPLED for some families this summer.

Even Democrats admit this could cost them the governor’s race:

“Once voters realize Democrats’ bungled energy policies are to blame… it could blow November wide open.”

4/ Here’s the truth:

❌ NJ shut down its carbon-free nuclear plant in 2018
❌ NY closed reliable, low-emission natural gas plants
❌ Both states bet everything on expensive, unreliable “green” energy

And now? The grid is strained, bills are soaring, and voters are furious.

5/ New York’s “Climate Action Plan” = the WORST in the nation.

Started under Cuomo. Doubled down under Hochul.

She closed natural gas, promised unreliable offshore wind & solar would replace it… but demand is HIGHER than ever.

Total fantasy.

6/ Meanwhile:

➡️ Hochul finally talks about new nuclear plants
➡️ Even climate activists admit it’s too late to stop the crunch
➡️ Chaos is coming for New York’s grid

And Democrats OWN every bit of this disaster.

7/ The political fallout?

⚡ Murphy barely survived in 2021
⚡ Hochul nearly lost in 2022
⚡ Now utility bills are spiking right before elections

Democrats lit the fire. Voters will bring the heat.

8/ Bottom line:

Democrats’ insane energy policies are torching New York & New Jersey families.

The bills don’t lie.

This is how blue states turn red. They are forced to live with the consequences of their own policies.
