American families that rely on heating oil are projected to pay ~$600 more to keep their homes warm this winter than last year. In Maine, which uses more residential heating oil than any other state, the average price of oil recently hit a record $6.02/gallon. That’s an 80% increase over last year.

Trump promised to cut your utility bill in half. He's done the exact opposite. Your energy bills will be even HIGHER because of Trump and Republicans' costly agenda.

Trump promised to halve energy costs, but now we're locked into paying a whopping $6,500 more per household over the next 2 decades. Trump really meant it when he said he didn’t care about our financial situations. And it’s even worse for states that voted for him!

The average price of heating oil in Maine hit $5.77 a gallon last week. That’s a 74% increase from 2025. This is a disaster for Mainers, half of whom rely on heating oil. At a time when food and fuel costs are rising and millions are struggling, many families will be forced to make hard choices.
