  1. Ars TechnicaHere we go again: Retiring coal plant forced to stay open...This time, a Colorado plant scheduled to shut down will be kept on standby. Spoiler The Commission shall ensure that such order requires generation, delivery, interchange, or transmission of electric energy only during hours necessary to meet the emergency and serve the public interest, and, to the maximum extent practicable, is consistent with any applicable Federal, State, or local environmental law or regulation and minimizes any adverse environmental impacts. At the moment, coal-fueled generation is more expensive than anything other than nuclear power, and is far and away the dirtiest form of generation. Its airborne pollution is responsible for a significant number of deaths in the US, and it leaves behind solid waste that is rich in toxic metals. It’s difficult to square those financial and health costs with serving the public interest. Yet the Trump Administration has relied heavily on declaring energy emergencies in its attempt to keep coal afloat despite the economics. A check of the use of similar emergency orders shows that, in the past year, the Administration has declared 16 energy emergencies—more than the entire total declared between 2008 and 2024. The Administration’s reliance on this sort of emergency declaration is in the process of being challenged in court, though. Several states and a collection of environmental organizations recently filed a suit that argues that the administration is misusing what’s meant to be a response to temporary emergencies by simply renewing the orders indefinitely, as it has with a coal plant in Michigan that has been forced to remain open well past the summer demand surge that the DOE initially used as its justification.
  2. I'm guessing boat strikes and the whatnot will be curtailed
  3. Just in time for mail in ballots for the 2026 election cycle.
  4. And this is a must-visit: https://www.trumpkennedycenter.org/
  5. There's just over 6 minutes to go in this game. Missouri has had the ball only 3:30 the entire second half. Just a methodical physical ass whipping by Virginia and it's only a 6 point game.
  6. Given that he has no idea of the background (or even the names) of some of the people that he has pardoned recently, he may not even remember or know of the bill that he signed.
  7. Oh, the real President does:
  8. The best you are going to get is an oral history that came out in 2020: https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/xmas-or-bust-the-untold-story-of-national-lampoons-christmas-vacation-173969/
  9. Getting closer to some kind of plan. Maybe they can call it a "final solution" or some other catchy slogan.
