Good Monday morning!
In the news today and from the weekend…
Media Alert:
- Thanks to the Steubenville Herald Star (Ohio), Weirton Daily Times (W.Va.), Cedar Rapids Gazette (Iowa), Beckley Register Herald (W.Va.), Johnston Tribune Democrat (Pa.), Kokomo Tribune (Ind.) and Grand Junction Daily Sentinel (Colo.) for publishing my new op-ed on how policymaking must preserve the dispatchable power generation that coal plants provide during a deep freeze.
EPA:
- Inside EPA reports a new analysis from economists and other researchers finds the Biden EPA’s power plant greenhouse gas standards would slash even more emissions than the agency projected and that the rule would provide a key backstop in the event high-emissions coal power generation increases, though the rule is unlikely to survive the incoming Trump EPA.
Grid:
- Utility Dive reports that American Electric Power will sell a nearly 20% stake in two Midwest transmission subsidiaries for $2.82 billion to fund investments in transmission, distribution and generation projects.
