How much Trump's 'big beautiful' bill could raise electricity costs in every U.S. state over the next 10 years
Electricity prices are expected to surge higher throughout the next decade due to energy policy changes in President Donald Trump's "big beautiful" bill, according to a new analysis from Energy Innovation, a non-partisan energy and climate think tank. Signed July 4, the bill mandates expanded oil and gas leasing, caps clean energy subsidies and rolls back tax credits that helped to make wind, solar and other clean power cheaper for manufacturers and more affordable for consumers, says Robbie Orvis, senior director for modeling and analysis at Energy Innovation. When the clean energy tax credits phase out at the end of 2025, that will bump up electricity costs for ordinary Americans, Orvis says. That's largely because higher costs for clean energy development will slow the pace of new supply, just as U.S. energy demand hits record highs, he says, resulting in higher electricity bills and increased reliance on natural gas, which will also become more expensive with rising demand. Electricity costs in some states will go up more than others due to the budget bill's provisions, Orvis says — particularly in states with the greatest future potential for clean energy development. Oklahoma's windy conditions, for example, make the state a prime candidate for powering wind turbines, which has historically allowed residents to benefit from cheap, clean energy, Orvis says. But without the tax break for new wind power infrastructure, the average household electricity bill in the state will rise by $540 by 2035, according to Energy Innovation's analysis. Overall, household energy costs will rise by $170, on average, by 2035, researchers found. And that estimate may be conservative. A report from Princeton University's Rapid Energy Policy Evaluation and Analysis Toolkit pegs the average increase at $280 a year by 2035. Energy Innovation's report factors in the near dozen Biden-era clean energy incentives that Trump's legislation terminates or phases out, along with a few clean energy policies the bill affects that predated former President Joe Biden's administration, Energy Innovation says. It compares projected energy costs in 2035 under two scenarios: one where Trump's budget bill passed, and one where it didn't. The data accounts for changes in spending on all fuel types for powering homes and vehicles, including natural gas and gasoline, although most of the cost increases are related to electricity and natural gas, Energy Innovation says. The report did not include Alaska or Hawaii. Here's how much more households in every state could pay annually, on average, by 2035, due to changes in energy policies under the "big beautiful" bill, according to Energy Innovation's research.

Exclusive: Ron Swanson helps jump-start big new EV push
Electric vehicle advocates on Monday are launching a $43.5 million campaign that touts EVs' benefits — and has a star pitchman in actor Nick Offerman. Why it matters: The nonprofit EV group Veloz's effort lands as the new budget law ends federal consumer tax credits this fall and Trump 2.0 dismantles other Biden-era EV policies. The advertising and public awareness push, funded by charging network Electrify America, marks a major effort by Veloz to expand its work beyond California. "Electric for All" is the "first and largest nonprofit-led EV education campaign in the U.S.," an announcement to be released Monday states. The big picture: Veloz executive director Josh D. Boone tells Axios exclusively there's no direct tie to the recent legislation, noting Veloz has eyed going national since its launch almost nine years ago. But he said it's "good timing" because "more Americans are interested in EVs than ever" and need factual info. He said Veloz is encouraging people to tap federal incentives before they vanish. But it's also highlighting local and state incentives that remain, and more broadly making the case for moving from gasoline to electrons. "They have long-term benefits beyond just getting a federal tax credit," Boone said in an interview. "There's cost savings from gas. There's total cost of ownership — they're just cheaper to own and operate and fuel than gas vehicles," he said. How it works: It's a 50-state campaign that targets people seeking their next vehicles within six months to two years, Boone said. It includes TV, radio, search results, podcasts, social media and more, and it's aimed at buyers across income levels. The spots steer people toward a multilingual Veloz site that helps them find incentives and browse models, among other features. Zoom in: One spot shows the deconstruction of a gas-powered engine with the overlay of Offerman's voice making the case for EVs. "When you take away the spark plugs, the oil filter, belts, the alternator, and, oh yeah, the gas tank, you tend to take away other stuff, like headaches," he says. "EVs have fewer parts, fewer repairs and are less expensive to drive," adds the comedian, best known as the irascible Ron Swanson of "Parks and Recreation." Threat level: U.S. EV sales growth was slowing even before the new federal law. EVs (including plug-in hybrids) were 9.6% of light-duty sales in Q1, per the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an auto trade group. Q1 sales commonly drop from Q4, but the 1.3% decline was steeper than prior dips, the group's latest report states. Flashback: Volkswagen created Electrify America in 2017 under the settlement of its diesel emissions cheating scandal. It agreed to invest $2 billion over 10 years in infrastructure, access, and education initiatives. The intrigue: The Veloz campaign will feature in-person events. "You've ... got to give people the opportunity to touch electric vehicles, get in an electric vehicle, take a ride and drive, because that's where you really start getting the 'aha moment' when people's faces light up and they get excited about electric vehicles," Boone said.

Redburn Rothschild Downgrades Adobe Inc. (ADBE) to ‘Neutral' Rating; Lowers Price Target

Despite strong Q2 results, Redburn Rothschild reduced its price target for Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) from $420 to $280, downgrading it to a 'Neutral' rating. This downgrade, which occurred on July 2, 2025, is attributed to the much-anticipated IPO of Figma, which filed an update regarding its IPO offering on July 1, 2025. According to the official announcement, the rival firm has filed a registration on Form S-1 with the U.S. SEC for the proposed IPO of its Class A common stock.

(NASDAQ:ADBE) is progressing well and is already ahead of its $250 million AI revenue goal for FY25, thanks to its Firefly and Acrobat AI Assistant tools. Moreover, its full-year guidance remains the same, indicating FY25 EPS of $20.50-$20.70. Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) offers Digital Media and Digital Experience platforms, delivering creative, document, and experience-based solutions to creators, marketers, and enterprises globally.
