It is reported by NBC News.
According to the TV channel, electricity prices in the US increased by an average of 20% in the summer, but in a number of states electricity bills can increase by 45-50%.
It is noted that this is due to the rise in gas prices.
Earlier, the president of the US Oil and Gas Association, Tim Stewart, announced the worst energy crisis in the country in half a century.
US President Joe Biden accused Russian leader Vladimir Putin of raising fuel prices and rising food prices, and also urged gas station managers in the United States to reduce the cost of gasoline.
As Putin himself noted, the sanctions and the West's long-term mistakes in the economy caused a wave of global inflation.
