January 1, Trump Was Right Again As Coal Plants Get Lifeline From Energy Department
Wyatt’s Take
- The Energy Department is keeping coal plants running to protect American families from blackouts and higher bills.
- Court losses will not stop common-sense moves that keep the lights on in the heartland.
- Washington elites keep pushing green policies that hurt working folks and help foreign competitors.
The Energy Department is still telling coal plants to stay open even after judges knocked down earlier orders.
Officials say shutting the plants would leave millions of homes in the dark during peak demand.
“would compromise energy reliability”
Coal provides steady power when wind and solar go quiet, and families from Ohio to West Virginia depend on that steady supply.
Every time another plant closes, the price of electricity climbs and jobs disappear in towns that have powered the nation for generations.
The same voices pushing these closures cheered when factories moved overseas and mines shut down.
Now they want middle America to pay more for power that is less dependable and more expensive.
Heartland families know what happens when the grid gets stretched too thin.
They remember the rolling blackouts and the bills that keep climbing every winter.
Wyatt Matters
Keeping coal plants running is about protecting the families who work hard, pay their taxes, and expect the lights to stay on without breaking the bank.

It has been shortsighted to have been closing coal plants,( nuclear power plants as well,) since we depend on them, we have 250 years of known coal reserves, we know the technology and our bright engineers have been finding cleaner ways to burn coal and to dispose of and reuse the ash. Oil, gas, wind, solar and nuclear, too of course, but previous policies of cutting off our nose to righteously spite our faces have been foolish and delusional. And disfiguring!

This is what I vote for! No one voted for some stupid retard judge to shutdown our power. Ignore those idiots and keep the coal and gas power plants open and running.

At 1.5 MW per hour for windmills, you would ne over 844 to replace one unit running at 832 MW per hour. Do the math people green power costs more and is less reliable. Keep the power plants and the mines open.

This pipe dream of windmills and solar panels is exactly that. It cost more to run windmills and install solar panels then it does to use existing energy plants. The communist left has gone way beyond mental illness. They only do this to ruin our nation. They don’t care about the climate and they don’t care about people. All they care about is their bottom line how many politicians going to Congress and the senate
With nearly nothing and they become millionaires. They talk about redistribution of the wealth, but you can bet your sweet ass. It won’t be their Wealth that will be redistributed.

EPA was established in 1970 that was 55 years ago so after 55 years and trillions of dollars greenies are still claiming that there is climate change 55 years later and trillions of dollars later. So that means that nothing we can do can change the climate and you saying that we still have climate change, proves my point that nothing you can do is going to change the climate.
