ICYMI: Costly Kelly Silent as Trump’s War of Choice Drives Home Heating Oil Prices Up Across New Hampshire
 

New reporting from WMUR shows home-heating oil prices are set to be steeper than usual this year thanks to Trump’s war of choice in Iran. New England “will feel the greatest impact,” as the weather gets colder, with the average New Hampshire household set to pay “31% more for home heating oil, running the average household nearly $2,300 this winter.” Trump’s reckless war has driven diesel prices to a record high of more than $6.50 a gallon. 

Costly Kelly has a years-long record of “agitating for armed conflict with Iran,” yet she has been completely silent on Trump’s war of choice, even as families brace for another winter of higher bills. Granite Staters have been “increasingly squeezed” by higher prices under the Trump-Ayotte economy. On electricity prices alone, Granite Staters have seen their bills increase by nearly 15% under Ayotte’s failed leadership, and her Public Utilities Commission has just approved another rate hike.
