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.
