Senator Schumer Announces Energy Affordability Vision at LCV Capital Dinner

Washington, D.C.— Following U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer announcing the Senate Democrat energy affordability vision at the LCV Capital Dinner last night, the League of Conservation Voters released the following statement from President, Pete Maysmith:

“Last week, our champions in the House built introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act – an important step forward in clean energy as the solution to high energy costs. Last night, Senator Schumer unveiled the Senate’s ambitious policy agenda focused on clean energy solutions, a more efficient and resilient grid and protecting consumers.

“Senator Schumer’s announcement is exactly the leadership our country needs at this pivotal moment. As families across America struggle with rising energy bills, Senate Democrats are stepping up with a solutions-focused agenda that puts people first—delivering real relief and a vision for a cleaner, more affordable energy future.

“This is not only the right policy approach—it’s a clear political winner. Clean energy solutions are overwhelmingly popular with the public, and Americans are demanding action to address high costs and protect their communities.

“This is our movement at work. LCV will be taking this message directly to the people—talking with families and communities across the country about who is responsible for their rising costs by taking clean energy off the table, and who is offering real solutions that address both immediate needs and long-term benefits for everyone.

“Trump’s policies have prioritized polluters and corporate profits over families, forcing utilities to keep expensive, dirty power plants online and rolling back efficiency standards that save consumers money. Leader Schumer and the Senate Democrats have made it clear these broken promises have real consequences for our wallets and our health.”
