From the time President Trump took office in January 2025, he and various agencies from the EPA to the Department of Energy have been working to reverse the damage done by the previous administration in regard to billions of taxpayer dollars directed to propping up so-called “alternatives” like wind and solar.
But just how short-lived that effort could be was made clear at recent congressional hearings when Democrats pressed Energy Secretary Chris Wright over the administration’s efforts to undo the damage done by the Biden administration to our most affordable and reliable energy sources. Particularly upsetting to the left is that the Energy Department has, since last May, “issued a series of emergency orders requiring multiple coal-fired power plants in the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico to remain operational despite plans for retirement,” as Inside Climate News put it.
“Those federal actions are having ripple effects throughout the country’s utilities,” according to the story. “Southern Company said it would continue operating coal-fired plants in Mississippi and Georgia, and North Carolina’s legislature passed the ‘The Power Bill Reduction Act,’ allowing Duke Energy to backslide on its legally mandated carbon emissions reductions.”
