Power-plants are being closed around the country based on lies, just as the A.I. revolution makes them indispensable.
Free Beacon (8/29/25) reports: "When the Department of Energy issued an order forcing the J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in western Michigan to remain online, Democratic lawmakers and activists argued that the move would cost consumers millions of dollars. Federal emissions and regulatory figures shared with the Washington Free Beacon, however, show that the plant has been profitable in the wake of that order. Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel (D.) stated Wright's actions would 'potentially put enormous costs onto utility customers who receive no real benefit' and contended that the order had cost J.H. Campbell's operator, Consumers Energy, $29 million over the course of five weeks...But a subsequent study from energy research firm Energy Ventures Analysis found that the $29 million figure did not factor in the revenue J.H. Campbell earned selling electricity during that time frame. Power producers are paid on a rolling delay, not daily...The plant is one of many fossil fuel power plants nationwide that have been closed or whose operators have announced plans to close in recent years. But experts have warned that those plans, driven in large part by state and federal climate policies, could devastate the power grid. According to the nation's top grid watchdog, the Midwest is at "high risk" of shortfalls due in large part to the planned retirements of power plants like J.H. Campbell."
