We commend EPA for proposing to repeal the Carbon Rule. The repeal will make our nation’s electricity system more reliable and enable the U.S. to be energy secure and more competitive in global markets. Read our statement: americaspower.org/press_release/…

Recently, FERC convened a two-day technical conference to discuss resource adequacy issues facing grid operators. America’s Power highlighted steps that could be taken to ensure adequate capacity moving forward. Read our summary: americaspower.org/americas-power…

The DOE has moved to reestablish the National Coal Council, a committee of private sector leaders tasked with providing advice to the Secretary of Energy on coal policy. This is a very important step towards maximizing coal’s critical role in our electricity mix. Read our

Our latest paper provides an analysis of the multi-billion-dollar investments made by the owners of coal-fired power plants to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, mercury, and other air pollutants. Read it here: americaspower.org/issue/capital-…

Last month, NERC published its 2025 Summer Reliability Assessment, revealing a growing challenge for U.S. grid operators: electricity demand is rising faster than dispatchable resources are being added, even as numerous coal-fired power plants have announced plans to retire.

This week, the Mid-Atlantic Conference of Regulatory Utilities Commissioners held its 30thAnnual Education Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Many participants spoke about the crucial importance of coal electricity and new federal policies designed to preserve it. Read our

We agree with Lee Zeldin that the EPA decision to approve West Virginia's Regional Haze plan "restores commonsense to our regulations" that will help empower state regulatory agencies. epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

"West Virginia has shown that it’s possible to make real gains in air quality and visibility while protecting the jobs and industries that sustain our communities." Governor Patrick Morrisey is spot on here. Glad the U.S. EPA has approved WV's Regional Haze plan. epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

The U.S. Department of Energy’s new Report on Evaluating U.S. Grid Reliability and Security is further proof that the premature retirement of coal plants is putting the reliability of the U.S. electricity grid at risk. Fortunately, the Trump administration has been acting swiftly

President Trump has TRANSFORMED the American energy landscape. You're going to see a lot more of big, beautiful, clean coal!

“In repealing the carbon rule, the Trump administration is ensuring that our country’s electric grid will be more reliable and that America can continue to remain an economic superpower in the century ahead.” Read our latest op-ed in the Washington Examiner:

Wind, solar, and battery energy combined are ONLY 3% of U.S. total primary energy—that’s not enough to secure a nation. America must lead with innovation to power our future with RELIABLE and SECURE forms of energy.

Thank you to the The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board for spotlighting the looming grid reliability crisis. Their latest piece shows how subsidies for wind & solar are undermining energy security. Coal can be the solution. It’s reliable, affordable, and essential as demand surges across

She's an icon She's a legend And she is the moment✨

Today, President Donald J. Trump appointed David Rosner to serve as Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Read our statement: americaspower.org/press_release/…

A severe heatwave affected the eastern United States in late June, breaking numerous temperature records and pushing electricity demand in PJM and MISO to the highest levels in nearly a decade. Read our latest report on how coal and natural gas served as the backbone of

.Secretary Chris Wright: “Usually if you subsidize something, you take other people’s money to make something cheaper. The story of wind power is far worse than that—we’ve taken other people’s money and made something more expensive.”

America’s Power applauds Department of U.S. Department of Energy for extending operations at Michigan’s J.H. Campbell coal plant to ensure affordable, reliable baseload power during peak demand. This move will ensure that the lights are on for millions of families & businesses. To read more:

“Our country needs more baseload power...Coal plants are essential for states and regions across the country.” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. Energy dominance depends on reliable baseload power that runs 24/7, not intermittent sources that fail when we need them most.

This month, Grid Strategies released a report on behalf of four environmental groups claiming that DOE orders to promote grid reliability by temporarily preventing fossil power plants from retiring could cost between $3 billion and $6 billion annually by the end of 2028.
