Happy Thursday!
We blogged on the President’s Executive
Orders (EO) signed last week which helped the coal industry. The EOs introduced changes that will support
our efforts to excel in the artificial intelligence and data centers race by
ensuring power is readily available whenever needed.
Did anyone see
The Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on April 16, 2025, they
reprinted an article from the Associated Press titled, “Trump grants
emissions rule exemption to coal plants”?
In the article, it speaks on how a list
has recently appeared on the U.S. Environment Protection Agency’s (EPA) website which has
given a two-year reprieve of not having
to following federal air standards from the Clean Air Act for a group of coal
power plants destined for retirement. Forty-seven
power producers which own 66 coal powered plants will not have to clean up
their emissions, including lead, mercury, benzene, and arsenic. The list
includes power plants from all over the country including ones in Texas,
Tennessee, Montana, and Kentucky. The
environmentalists have already chimed in on their thoughts of this current
change. We will keep you informed of
anymore changes we hear! If you would like to read more of the Associated
Press’ article, please click the link: Trump exempts nearly 70 coal plants from emissions rule | AP News.
