Biden's new mercury standards could shut down Colstrip by 2026, if enacted.

The University of Wyoming receive close to $3 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for research that focuses on expanding and transforming the use of coal and coal-based-based resources.

Is this the bill that will help save Colstrip, the coal mine, and the coal-fired power plant in Southeast Montana? Or, will Colstrip shut down anyway, and will ratepayers be left holding the bag?

Wind and solar energy operate at a loss, here is how:

and toxic waste too.

The Billings Gazette reported that Montana mines produced 15.1 million tons of coal in the first seven months of the year, down 21% compared to the same time last year.

"Saturday, January 4th, 2019 will go down as a dark day in Montana history. On this day, Colstrip Units 1 and 2 will be closed - with the doors dismantled and welded shut."

Well, first off- if coal is dead then why are the radical environmentalists still trying so hard to kill it with lawsuits, regulatory actions, and efforts to block coal export terminals? I mean- if coal is dead, then why are the enviro activists working so hard to beat a dead horse? Maybe it's because coal isn't dead.

Politico's Alex Thompson: "Bullock now against coal. Schumer's hopes of a Sen. run fade."

Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-MT) politely, but directly, laid into Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) during a congressional hearing earlier this week. Meanwhile, the Seattle press mock Inslee (a 2020 Dem presidential contender) for his response.
