With Coal power generation, "Energy Independence" is thrown out the window for foreign coal imports:
The U.S. Imported coal from
Colombia (68.2%)
Canada (25.6%)
The average price of U.S. coal imports during the third quarter of 2025 was $144.88 per short ton.
Yikes.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. Itβs the root of all evil in Washington.
Yikes.

You probably have to do a sewer dive into the Far right Canadian kookspiracy blogs to find out where this emanates from.

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?
BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.
Trump wants to punish a blue sky American solar industry that provides 280,000 jobs while rewarding a black sky dangerous industry that kills Americans every year that's shrunk to <41,000 jobs. It's like he's trying to stop booming refrigerator sales in the 30's to prevent loss of Ice Truck drivers.
What Trump did to partially stall the Solar boom:
The utility-scale segment installed 34.7 GWdc in 2025, a 16% decline compared to 2024. ... fewer projects that were originally slated to come online in Q4 were energized. Due to the changes in tax credit deadlines "
"2025 was a monumental year for the US solar manufacturing industry. New cell capacity continued to expand, and wafer capacity came online for the first time since 2016. Module manufacturing grew more than 50% in 2025, with 65.5 GW of capacity online, up from 42.5 GW at the end of 2024"
If we aren't doing solar we aren't doing shit for our children's futures:
'Solar was 54% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid in 2025. Solar + storage made up 79% of new capacity in this timeframe. ... solar capacity is roughly half of new capacity added through 2060.'
Despite Trump's sabotage of Biden's growth policies, Solar is the top new power generation source in the United States for the 5th straight year.

In the U.S. solar is the top new generation source 5 years in a row.
