Americans are now getting the tab from the Trump Administration's order to keep coal plants open. This plant in Washington state has already racked up tens of millions of dollars in costs that could now get passed on to ratepayers -- and the plant is not even making electricity.

Government efficiency

[Max Burns @themaxburns]

A perfect image of the Trump era: A grandmother has to work at DoorDash in order to get by, while the president decorates his office in gold accent pieces.

The Trump Administration is throwing money at aging coal plants to power AI. Here’s the thing: coal is not only terrible for our health — it’s expensive and unreliable.

Cleaner, cheaper energy solutions exist.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Trump has officially announced the "single largest deregulatory action in American history."

He’s not America first.

He’s billionaires first.

Corporations first.

Oil companies first.

[EDF Action @EDFaction]

Are they just making up awards now?

Today, President Trump received the first-ever "Undisputed Champion of Coal" award. Why? For sacrificing reliable and affordable clean energy to prop up a dying industry.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

Perhaps even more sickening than the killing itself is your government telling you that what you saw with your own two eyes didn’t happen.

[Tim Hannan @TimHannan]

You say you want ICE to get rid of the illegal immigrants but they are arresting kids, preists, protesters, people filming. 2nd Amendment people, your tyranical government is finally here and you're cheering it on.

Isn’t this literally the worst fear of the right?

[g. @GeauxGabrielle]

In my home state of Louisiana, there is an 85 mile stretch of land called “Cancer Alley.” It’s where the oil and gas refineries poison Black & brown people & where every household has a resident who is suffering from or died of cancer.

They have fought for decades for it to end like this.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, & disaster research underpinning half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, & increased resilience.

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

We won our lawsuit and stopped the Trump administration from blocking an array of new wind energy projects.

This is a big victory in our fight to keep tackling the climate crisis and protect one of our best sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

[Chandler Green @ChandloGreen]

“Reliable, baseload power” I am told…

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

We’re shoveling money to coal plants and they keep on breaking down

[Heatmap News @heatmap_news]

Coal is the least reliable energy source in the U.S., according to a new analysis by @EnvDefenseFund shared exclusively with Heatmap.

Here's @MattZeitlin with more:

What this op-ed gets wrong: Trump Admin’s own data shows that states with high shares of clean energy generally have lower electricity prices.

California is an exception largely b/c utilities are passing on the high costs of wildfire repairs to customers. https://t.co/hHEqJ2A0UY

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The White House is offering “concierge, white glove service” to oil, coal and other fossil fuel companies that are seeking to gain fast approval for their projects, according to an energy official, while slowing down or blocking solar and wind projects.

👋 This is in my district. Let’s set the record straight:

This America-last action by the Trump Admin is blocking clean, American made energy from the grid.

The project is 80% complete, 45 turbines already built, enough to power 350k homes below current market price.

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

The U.S. needs more clean, cheap electricity to meet rising demand and lower bills.

Instead, the Trump administration is blocking new renewable projects and propping up costly fossil fuels. We take a closer look at the ongoing clean energy obstruction. https://t.co/BsWfnKnXrn

[EDF Action @EDFaction]

What's "loco" is shutting down an abundant clean energy source based on lies.
