Wow, forcing states to continue burning fossil fuels to power energy generators in Indiana and other state well past their retirement dates is not very forward-looking. Given the mindset of the Trump administration, it looks more like a pay-off to the coal and oil industries. Trump, in his first term, repealed the EPA’s 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding and the rescission of vehicle emissions standards. Since re-taking office in January 2024, Trump has slashed a quarter of the EPA’s workforce. And what has Congress said about all of this? Crickets…
I would guess this move is to insure we still have power sources when over demand of electricity comes to fruition. More like a continuation and back up plan for the overall grid. Between the temperatures and data centers, etc., our grid can’t wait too long to keep us alive and functional. New power technologies are still a decade or more away, and some old fashioned insurance is better than absolute failures of our current grid and sources.
Kevin, when was the last major blackout in the United States? In 2003, that’s when. The Northeast power outage affected parts of the Northeast and Midwest states, and most parts of the Canadian province of Ontario on Thursday, August 14. Power was restored in most places within seven hours, some within 2 hours. Full power was restored to New York City and parts of Toronto after three days. There are better ways to ensure we can survive hot weather and data centers that does involve the pollution generated by fossil fuels.
You can guess all you want that this move was based on some sort of well-reasoned, strategic thinking, like the argument you lay out here. But that guess would be wrong. Our president has openly admitted that he makes decisions solely with his “gut.” If this move makes any sense and turns out to be wise, that would be through sheer luck.
Kevin, this was political payback and nothing more. Requiring the plants to stay on-line days before retirement is costly to utility customers. Also, forcing the cancelation of new off-shore wind projects, which are entered into between two PRIVATE companies – not the state or federal government – is a personal vendetta by Trump. Stop excusing this behavior.
We should also support the VCR Repair and Beeper industries. More forward thinking!
An old, dirty, corrupt, and unreliable industry being propped up by an old, dirty, corrupt, and unreliable President and GOP. The shoe certainly fits. The entire coal industry employs a workforce that is half the size of Muncie. What a waste.
This is so true.
$700 million of tax dollars to buy votes. Trumps favorite move throughout his career, he loves spending other people’s money.
Trump just wants to make damn sure his buddy Xi and China dominate the future of clean energy generation across the globe while we choke in some of the worlds worst air quality
A promise to certain constituents whether it makes sense is irrelevant. If a robust network is desired, then why eliminate wind and alternative power sources. Keep then! Perhaps massive (!) job growth in the mining industry was save the enfeebled social security trust fund.
so stupid
The $700M subsidy will probably lead to more than $700M in healthcare costs to those exposed to related coal pollution.
