A federal judge decided in favor of Oakland, California, which was sued by a bankrupt coal company over the city’s opposition to a coal export terminal near the Port of Oakland. www.weku.org/the-commonwe...

@tatecurtis.bsky.socialIt might not surprise anyone that the Sierra Club flunked most of Kentucky’s electric utilities for their commitment to coal and gas. But it might surprise you that not all of them got an F on the group’s latest scorecard. www.weku.org/the-commonwe...
@kentuckypublicradio.orgReposted by @tatecurtis.bsky.socialKentucky Power was the only utility statewide to earn a D grade from the Sierra Club in its latest scorecard, released this week. All others earned an F.

@tatecurtis.bsky.socialA new intervention on coal’s behalf as the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects an 8% decline in coal generation this year and a 6% decline next year. And as the courts have started to weigh in on other measures, not favorably. www.weku.org/the-commonwe...

@jboyd-dc.bsky.socialReposted by @tatecurtis.bsky.social@tatecurtis.bsky.socialThis appears to be a setback: apnews.com/article/mich...
@tatecurtis.bsky.socialThe Trump administration has made multiple interventions on coal’s behalf. Those efforts appear to have fallen flat. Coal generation is forecast to decline 8% this year and 6% in 2027, according to the Trump administration’s own energy information agency.

@tatecurtis.bsky.socialI was appalled by the cruelty and callousness with which my Dow Jones colleagues were culled in the summer of 2008. I took a buyout rather than being subjected to a reality-TV style elimination round. Now, everyone does it. Callousness and cruelty is standard.
