Are Trump’s Tariffs About to Spike Your Energy Bill? - Mike Mauceli, Kenny Stein

Is your gas or electric bill about to skyrocket? In this episode of The Energy Show with REI Energy, we break down how Trump’s proposed tariffs could hit you right where it hurts — your wallet. Mike Mauceli sits down with Kenny Stein, VP of Policy at the American Energy Alliance, to explore how these tariffs on Canadian and Mexican oil — along with steel and aluminum — may lead to higher fuel, electricity, and even pipeline construction costs in the U.S.

You’ll learn how integrated our energy systems really are, why some U.S. refineries can’t just “switch” to different crude oil, and how restricting pipeline development has created long-term problems for consumers and producers alike. We also talk about the rise of AI data centers, the hidden pressure on the U.S. power grid, and why natural gas may be the unsung hero of energy stability.

Whether you're an investor, homeowner, or just tired of rising energy prices — this episode will help you understand what’s really driving the cost of power in America.
