Why this score The head of the agency whose action he is announcing. Self-attesting and authoritative about what EPA has done and when; the savings projections, legal characterisations and price predictions in the same statement are the agency's own case for its own policy, and one of them ('Americans will see a decrease in electricity prices') is a checkable forecast. 0.5 reflects authority over the action and a full interest in its justification.

Americans will see a decrease in electricity prices, but this is just the beginning.

Not yet checkable. Said by the EPA administrator announcing his own agency’s repeal. The starting point: EIA’s latest all-sector average, for July 2026, was 14.99 cents per kWh, up 4.4% on a year earlier. Only months after the claim count.
