Trump Policies Credited for Grid Resilience During Storm
Liberty Check
- Trump administration directives prioritized grid security and human need over regulatory obstacles.
- Coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear were credited as essential to meeting energy demand during the storm.
- Biden-era restrictions came under fire for threatening affordability, reliability, and grid integrity.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced that decisive Trump-era energy policies safeguarded America’s power grid during Winter Storm Fern. Emergency measures kept coal plants running, bypassing bureaucratic hurdles to maintain reliable energy in a crisis.
Wright explained the U.S. avoided grid outages for lack of generation; disruptions were linked only to icy local lines. He and Deputy Secretary James Danly made it clear that federal action was crucial to public safety and grid stability.
“Beautiful, clean coal was the MVP of the huge cold snap we’re in right now. I can say with some confidence, hundreds of American lives have been saved because of President Trump’s actions saving America’s coal industry.”
Wright sharply criticized attempts to sideline fossil fuels, arguing that mandates and restrictions from current leadership have driven up prices and reduced reliability. He warned that removing stable energy sources would be catastrophic, referencing studies predicting a significant rise in blackouts if current policy trends continue.
“We will not allow reckless energy subtraction policies and bureaucratic red tape to put American lives at risk. These orders will mitigate blackouts and help restore affordable and reliable electricity, so American families thrive and America’s manufacturing industries can once again boom.”
He also labeled New York’s electrification initiatives as costly and ineffective, reinforcing that America’s energy future must be rooted in facts, not dangerous political trends. Stay alert—energy freedom is at stake in every policy decision made in Washington.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
