For centuries, Santa Claus has delivered lumps of coal to people on the Naughty List. 🎅
But what happens when coal is exactly what someone, say Donald Trump, wants?
This year, Santa needs to give Trump (and the rest of us) something he’ll really hate: clean energy.

Santa’s coal, Trump, and your high energy bills: The surprising link
The Trump admin is on the naughty list. Santa may give them just what they want: more coal. Here's why that means higher energy prices and dirtier air for the rest of us.

My statement on Trump's latest attack on Rhode Island offshore wind.
Trump promised to lower electricity prices and make life more affordable for Americans.
Instead, our bills are higher than ever and Trump is focused entirely on giving handouts to his billionaire friends.

🚨 Trump has abruptly halted five offshore wind farms that were set to power more than 2.5 million homes and businesses.
He is trying to ban clean energy in order to enrich his Big Oil friends and settle his own petty grievances.
We will all pay the price in higher costs and a more polluted planet.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Meanwhile, Trump recently stripped critical protections across *all* 23 million acres of public lands in the Western Arctic for oil and gas development.
