Hard to find a nicer gift than beautiful, clean, American coal.
Daily Caller (12/25/25) reports: "The United States is projected to generate more power from coal in 2025 than in 2024, though the resource has endured an assault from the executive branch, green groups and Congress in recent years. America generated about 13 percent more energy from coal between January and October 2025 than it did during the same period in 2024, according to data from the Energy Information Administration...'If Santa leaves you coal this year, you’re obviously on the nice list,' Amy Cooke, co-founder and president of Always on Energy Research and the director of the Energy and Environmental Policy Center told the Daily Caller News Foundation. 'In a winter of surging demand and cold temperatures, it’s coal plants … that are the workhorses of the electric grid, delivering round-the-clock, reliable, and affordable power to keep your Christmas lights burning bright.'...Cooke told the DCNF that a Colorado utility’s extension of one coal plant past December helps secure more reliable power for her state, arguing that 'without it, Colorado would face a darker, colder new year.'...Colorado is far from the only state that has aggressive mandates to support an energy transition that could result in high energy costs and a destabilized power grid, as most states with the top electricity costs are blue states with stringent profile goals, according to one recent analysis from Always on Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research."
