President Donald Trump is releasing billions of dollars in federal energy assistance as families across the country grapple with soaring utility bills and the start of the winter heating season. The move offers short-term relief but comes as Trump is also proposing to eliminate the very program that provides it. Brian Dabbs from POLITICO’s E&E news explains how the funding helps families now and what it signals for the future of the program. Plus, Energy Secretary Chris Wright made the case Tuesday that the surge in data centers will actually lower Americans’ utility bills.
