“There’s been this move afoot in which markets have become something closer to a mechanism by which to harvest…subsidies, rather than what they were intended to do, which is ensure least cost dispatch of available resources and to incentivize new investment.” -FERC's James Danly

At a recent Senate committee hearing, @NERC_Official CEO Jim Robb confirmed @EPA's policies are pushing power generation off the grid too fast to maintain reliability. We need interagency coordination and common sense. Read more: https://t.co/oMUR3euHDF

Happy Coal Miners Week! Thank you to the Ohio Coal Miner for helping keep the lights on and our economy moving.

[Ohio BWC @OhioBWC]

Enacted in 2012, the week of Labor Day is "Ohio Coal Miners Week," honoring the citizens of Ohio who work or have worked in the coal mines of our state. According to the @OhioCoalAssn, the Ohio coal industry provides 33,000+ jobs and powers over 69% of our electric grid!

American coal is playing a powerhouse role in the global energy game. Last year alone, the U.S. sent a whopping 84.8 million short tons of coal to 71 countries! U.S. coal is stepping up when the world needs it the most. https://t.co/46eM2fEfZd

[OhioCoalAssociation @OhioCoalAssn]

The grid is at its breaking point right now. If coal plants continue to be wontonly shut down by @POTUS and @EPA, even another mild year of weather won't keep the lights on.

ALERT: @EPA carbon rule is threatening to turn off the lights in Ohio. Grid operators decry the detrimental effect on grid reliability, the chilling effect on investment, and EPA's unrealistic mandate of unworkable technologies.

China adds 50 GW of reliable energy this year. Meanwhile US/Europe relying on fundamentally unreliable energy. Time to wake up!

[ACC @AmericanCoal]

China's energy security push drives up fossil fuel approvals - research
China approved more than 50 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power in the first half of 2023.

Global coal usage increasing despite a massive coordinated war on coal (EPA regs, UN, ESG, Wind/Solar subsidies etc).

Makes you think. Perhaps Coal is a product people need. 🤔

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Global coal use is set to remain at record levels in 2023, with growth in Asian economies offsetting declines in Europe & North America

Stronger policies & investments are needed to drive a massive surge in clean energy

Ohio Coal Association was proud to participate in the inaugural meeting of the Washington Coal Club! We have great Ohio champions fighting for our mines and miners, including Congressional Coal Caucus Chairman @RepBillJohnson

[Rep. Bill Johnson @RepBillJohnson]

I had the privilege of addressing the members of the Washington Coal Club today, along with my Congressional Coal Caucus co-chair, Congresswoman Hageman. Our caucus is at forefront of pushing back against the Biden Administration’s anti-coal agenda. As a nation, we need to address the rapidly diminishing reliable coal-fired power that is coming off our grid – thanks to President Biden’s EPA regulations -- with no replacement. This isn’t an ideological debate, this is about keeping America’s lights on.

[Rep. Bill Johnson @RepBillJohnson]

The White House is forcing the American people into a “rush to green” agenda and taking away personal choices. Instead, we should be focused on making America energy dominant – not trying to control what kind of stoves or water heaters people buy. Watch below ⬇️

[OhioCoalAssociation @OhioCoalAssn]

Great discussion with @AlexEpstein and Larry Kudlow! Bottom Line: If you want the economy to grow and people to have affordable energy, the War on Coal, which is really a War on Growth, needs to end. It's immoral to keep billions of people in poverty.

[Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein]

China has been permitting 2 new coal plants a week. That makes sense, because they actually want more energy. We, unfortunately, seem to want less energy.

(On @FoxBusiness with Larry Kudlow.)

[OhioCoalAssociation @OhioCoalAssn]

"Despite claims to the contrary, there is nothing easy or simple about reshaping the nation’s supply of power. Trying to do so as electricity demand soars is a doubly difficult task. It’s past time we stop demonizing the coal..."

Happy 4th of July! We salute those who fought to make us independent, and those who fight to keep us free. #USA

Do you know the benefits of the federal coal leasing program? Read here how important it remains to mining states and communities and how essential coal remains in the nation’s energy mix: https://t.co/TvNEOto1Jj

[OhioCoalAssociation @OhioCoalAssn]

EPA’s agenda, so detached from reality, is sowing the seeds for a colossal self-made energy crisis. When the nation should be scrambling to add new electricity generating capacity... EPA is instead determined to take them apart.

ICYMI: Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito and U.S. Rep. Carol Miller introduced the ‘Protect Our Power Plants Act’ -- a bill that would defend American coal plants from EPA’s latest harmful, illegal iteration of the Clean Power Plan

[OhioCoalAssociation @OhioCoalAssn]

We need more energy, not less.

Axios Columbus: Ohio customers will pay more to stay cool this summer, with standard bills expected to increase by about 28% starting Thursday.

[Congressman Max Miller @RepMaxMiller]

The Supreme Court ruling against @EPA’s costly & burdensome #WOTUS rule is a tremendous victory for American agriculture, businesses, & land owners.

@EPA must now put forward a common sense rule that protects both clean water & the rights of rural communities.

[OhioCoalAssociation @OhioCoalAssn]

@ChristieFERC is right- Coal is irreplaceable. Thank you Commissioner for protecting America's electrical grid.

[Count on Coal @countoncoal]

Coal is more dependable than natural gas because it can be stored in large quantities and is less susceptible to supply disruptions than natural gas, which requires transport pipelines. This is just another reason coal is irreplaceable.
