NEW YORK, Oct 31 (Reuters) - US electricity prices had flown under the radar in past national elections, but they have become a major political issue in this year's midterms as Americans grow angry over rising utility bills and deals for power-hungry data centers.
Nationwide, according to Energy Information Administration data, electricity prices for homes have risen more than 10% since 2024 when President Donald Trump was elected along with Republican majorities in both houses of the US Congress. Higher electricity prices have outpaced the rise in costs for other goods and services.

纽约,10 月 31 日(路透社)——美国电价在过去的全国选举中一直没有引起太多关注,但随着美国民众对不断上涨的公用事业账单和耗电巨大的数据中心交易越来越愤怒,电价已成为今年中期选举中的一个主要政治议题。
根据美国能源信息署的数据,自2024年唐纳德·特朗普当选总统以及共和党在国会两院占据多数席位以来,全美家庭用电价格上涨超过10%。电价上涨速度超过了其他商品和服务价格的上涨速度。
