Rogers Rejects Study

White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers called Energy Innovation analysis fraudulent and said Working Families Tax Cuts lowered household energy prices.

Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina and South Carolina may each face $500-plus energy cost hikes.
Maine, Vermont, Washington and New Hampshire may see smaller impacts due to state consumer-relief policies.
