<h1>President blames wind and solar for power price spikes as analysts cite demand, infrastructure, gas exports, policy disputes</h1> The president publicly blamed wind and solar for recent electricity price increases and promised to block related projects, while energy analysts and industry advocates attribute price rises to higher demand (data centers, EVs), aging infrastructure, extreme weather, and rising natural gas export prices. Recent legislation and administration guidance have curtailed technology-neutral clean energy tax credits and added sourcing rules, prompting a congressional hold on nominees and a think-tank report projecting higher household energy bills and job losses by 2030. The dispute centers on policy choices' impact on supply, costs, and the pace of clean-energy deployment.
