Millions of Americans are reportedly struggling with rising energy costs, with some facing utility debt and service disconnections. One individual shared a personal account of tripling energy bills and relying on a generator for months. Research indicates a significant rise in overdue utility debt.

Proposed federal funding cuts for low-income energy assistance and rollbacks of clean energy projects are also noted as potential factors.
