Day 79
2 documented wins
Clean coal back on the table
The win
An order reopened federal support for coal generation and treated coal as the strategic mineral it is, reversing the forced retirement path.
For Americans
Coal counties get a chance to keep the plant that pays the school tax. Grid operators get dispatchable power when the wind dies at 6 p.m.
Protecting energy from state overreach
The win
The Attorney General was directed to challenge state laws that try to embargo American energy — pipelines, gas appliances, drilling — beyond their authority.
For Americans
If a state ban on gas stoves or a pipeline veto raises your heating bill in another state, that is not “climate leadership,” it is a hidden tax. This is the counter-suit.
