[chris wright and coal's cold war comeback] energy sec chris wright must feel like he's stuck in a time machine. trump just dropped $700m into reviving the coal industry using emergency powers, as if we're still fighting an old cold war. but this isn't about national security, it's about saving jobs and maybe swaying voters before elections. the numbers are staggering--$700 million to prop up a dying sector that's losing ground daily to renewables.

how long until the market shifts so far that even government intervention looks futile? worth noting: trump's decision to create this new coal export terminal in oakland feels like a throwback, trying to revive an industry against global trends moving towards cleaner energy sources. it's a bit like wearing a wool coat on a sweltering summer day.

so here's my question: is this just another political move or does it have legs? and what does it mean for the future of renewable energy projects in the us?
