Electricity prices vary by state because energy policies vary by state. Blue states run by climate extremists have electricity prices THREE TIMES higher than other parts of the country!

Yesterday, American coal miners braved sub-zero tempreatures and icy roads to produce about 1.5 million tons of the most reliable electric generating fuel available. Other generation sources may come up short in extreme conditions, but coal never quits.

Grid reliability is about preparation. Coal plants keep fuel on-site and operate independently of real-time pipeline constraints—an advantage that becomes critical when extreme cold pushes energy systems to their limits.

Thank you @SecretaryWright for supporting the great women & men who work in the #coal industry! #CoalPowersAmerica @FriendsofCoalKY @AmericanCoal @FriendsofCoalWV
Coal is powering the nation when it needs it most. In Biden's America, coal would have been phased out, leaving millions of Americans without power and at risk to outages without secure, reliable, power to keep families warm in harsh temperatures.

Electricity demand doesn’t drop during extreme cold—it skyrockets. Coal plants help utilities meet that demand reliably, supporting homes, hospitals and businesses when uninterrupted power is essential.

The Trump administration is moving to keep U.S. coal plants online to meet surging power demand. With electricity demand rising fast, existing coal generation is being positioned as a near-term reliability backstop for the grid. For more: https://t.co/sixskB3rmo

President Trump's energy agenda is more energy. We are all about growing energy production here in the United States and abroad. This will push down energy prices and grow demand, ultimately boosting wages for American workers.

Electricity prices are up 32% in five years as power demand surges and reliable generation disappears. Keeping dispatchable energy like coal online is key to stabilizing the grid and easing the affordability crunch for families and businesses.

That's 350t being dumped from a height of 40m right there. In one scoop, a dragline can pickup your entire house including the garden to a depth of 5m.

Today, my legislation became law, and with it, we’ve overturned one of the most damaging federal policies that affects Wyoming. This is a win for our workers, energy security, and economy. @SenLummis, @SenJohnBarrasso, and I fought for this, and we delivered.
H.J.Res. 130, sponsored by @SenJohnBarrasso, @SenLummis, and @RepHageman, overturns restrictions that prohibited future coal leasing applications through 2038 in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin — a state that produces 40% of the nation’s coal. — Keeps energy prices affordable and
