Defend Forgotten America Action applauds President Donald Trump for securing commitments from more than 200 companies to protect American families from higher electricity bills as America builds the infrastructure needed to dominate the global artificial intelligence race.
Through the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, participating companies will bring or build the power they need, cover the cost of new grid infrastructure, invest in local workers, and strengthen the communities hosting America’s next generation of economic growth.
“President Trump is a once-in-a-generation president because he refuses to accept the false choice between American greatness and American affordability,” said Jenn Pellegrino, Founder and CEO of Defend Forgotten America Action. “America can win the AI race, build the strongest economy in the world, and protect the rural and small urban communities that power this country.”
“The future should be built in forgotten America, not billed to it,” Pellegrino continued. “President Trump’s pledge makes clear that working families will not be forced to subsidize the enormous energy demands of the world’s largest corporations. The companies driving this technological revolution should bring the power, pay the cost, create the jobs, and leave their host communities stronger than they found them.”
President Trump’s approach will help expand American energy supply, reinforce grid reliability, create durable local jobs, and ensure that the coming technological renaissance reaches every part of the country without leaving ordinary ratepayers behind.
