## Resource

Tennessee ranks 14th nationwide for energy affordability pressure, as a new index reveals how rising electricity costs are straining household budgets—especially where incomes aren’t keeping up with surging prices. States in the South and Hawaii face the steepest burdens, with some families spending over 3% of their monthly income just on energy. Since 2019, energy prices have climbed steadily, fueling broader inflation and making bills feel heavier even if they’re not the highest. This snapshot highlights where energy costs are truly pinching wallets across the country. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
