Yeah go ahead California say that, then look like hypocrites because you used the same law to prop up your failing energy sector in 2001.
That's wrong on so many levels. The blackouts were caused by a Republican governor who thoroughly deregulated the electricity markets, which opened the door to the likes of Enron to game the market in a criminal and fraudulent way.
State's rights -- we don't want coal, we don't need coal and Trump has no business trying to shove it down our throats. Solar, wind and hydro work very well for us, with a boost from natural gas. We're good.

Bingo- the blackouts were artificial contracts means to game price of electricity. Definitely not something to point to on this issue...

A large percentage of CA power still comes from coal fired plants in New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. You just export the pollution while importing the power.
one- looking forward to all the Trump lemmings who praise the free market spinning this one
two- gotta love an admin who's intrinsic mantra is let's look back to the 50's....
US used to be about leading through innovation. Now we're the Back to the Future nation....
That is what this is all about. Most Americans cannot accept that the 1950s are over and want to return there at any cost. They cannot accept that the future isn't coal but high tech and renewable. They cannot accept that women, non-whites, LGBT, and non-Christians have a more equal place at the table with white men and are doing everything they can to reverse that. If they can't have their 1950s theme-park version of America, they have no qualms about just destroying the country.
Brought by the same party that screamed over health insurance and free markets. He wants to force the government to buy more expensive polluting coal over natural gas. Washington state uses a lot of hydro power. We should not have to get dragged into Trump’s mess.
Idiotic Trump supporting a 19th Century fossil fuel that is headed for obsolescence when the world is quickly moving beyond coal. If Trump were around at the turn of the 19th century he would be defending whale oil and horse power.
This is for 2 years according to the article. The energy grid is a complicated issue and who can argue with the desire to maintain our nations energy security. It's coal and nuclear by the way... not just coal. There is also clean coal and retrofitting plants to reduce emissions.
More jobs for Americans.
