"Thank You, Mr. President": Maryland Freedom Caucus Applauds Trump's Coal Power Plant Restart Plan

Submitted by Maryland Freedom Caucus,

Today, President Trump is taking action to help reverse the damage done to Maryland's energy industry by directing federal support toward coal power infrastructure, including funding that could help restart Maryland's Warrior Run power plant near Cumberland.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Today, we're taking historic action to bring down the price of energy and the cost of living for all Americans with the power of clean, beautiful coal... As a result of the $700M investment that I'm announcing today, we will protect 14 coal plants and 42 coal… pic.twitter.com/o2IxCelLpn

While combining the Defense Production Act, a 1950 law that gives presidents emergency authority over national security-related industries, and Department of Energy grants, President Trump is expected to send tens of millions of dollars to reopen the recently closed AES Warrior Run. 

Maryland's energy crisis was not an accident; it was a choice.

For years, Annapolis politicians and activists shut down reliable power, punished natural gas, forced unrealistic mandates onto families and businesses, and then acted shocked when electric bills exploded.

Arbitrary climate mandates didn’t lower bills. They shut down power plants, shrank supply, and crushed Maryland families with higher costs and blackout risks. A crisis policy made, so I am proposing to reversing the damage and put families, reliability, and affordability 1st! pic.twitter.com/AzuFSZ9ydO

Warrior Run was not some meaningless facility on a government spreadsheet. It was a dependable, dispatchable power plant capable of producing more than 200 megawatts of electricity for Maryland homes, businesses, and communities. It was retired in 2024, even as Maryland's power supply was already shrinking and demand was rising.

That is exactly the kind of reckless energy policy the Maryland Freedom Caucus has been warning about for more than two years.

When you think "energy", we want you to think "Maryland Freedom Caucus". For more than a year, we've had the plan that will lower your bills and make Maryland more affordable.

✅️ Keep Power Plants Open
✅️ END the EmPOWER program fees on your monthly bill
✅️ STOP the Green… pic.twitter.com/nStwBiCZnx

Our message has been simple: stop closing reliable power plants and restore in-state generation, cut fee-based programs like EmPOWER that drive up bills, ditch the Green Energy Scam, and classify nuclear power as a tier 1 renewable energy resource. 

Maryland does not have an energy shortage because we lack resources. We have an energy shortage because politicians chose ideology over reliability. The reopening of a Democrat policy-closed power plant, like Warrior Run, is a huge win for Marylanders who need relief now. Lower electricity bills start with more power.

This is also a major opportunity for Western Maryland. Communities near Cumberland deserve jobs, investment, and energy production, not lectures from climate activists who never suffer the consequences of the policies they impose.

Maryland Democrats have spent years chasing climate mandates, forced electrification schemes, RGGI taxes, anti-natural-gas regulations, and hidden charges buried in utility bills. The result is exactly what basic economics predicted: less supply, more demand, higher prices, and a weaker grid.

Now Annapolis needs to build on this momentum. Maryland should roll back the Climate Solutions Now Act, leave the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), restore retail energy choice, protect natural gas, and expand in-state generation using every practical source available.

President Trump's action is another step toward lower bills, stronger reliability, and real Maryland energy freedom. It is also another Maryland Freedom Caucus win.

The wins just keep on coming!@realDonaldTrump is taking action to lower your electricty bill and is directing $85 million in federal energy grants to help restart the Warrior Run coal power plant near Cumberland, MD!

Lebanon's President Blasts Iran, Hezbollah For Using Country As Bargaining Chip

Lebanon's president has angrily lashed out at both Hezbollah and Iran - the latter for using the Lebanese nation and people as a bargaining chip in the war and standoff with the United States and Israel.

President Joseph Aoun told CNN in a rare interview that Tehran is exploiting his war-torn nation and issued a fresh demand that Iran's leadership and military stop interfering in Lebanese affairs.

He stressed to Christiane Amanpour that the Lebanese people are "fed up" with the war - which started years ago on the heels of the Gaza war.

President Aoun at one point addressed Iran directly, saying "You are not trying to help us … the people of Lebanon are paying the price … for the sake of your own interest" - and added, "our interests … do not coincide with your interests."

Then specifically calling out the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), he said: "It’s not your country, it’s our country."

Iran's leadership has been insistent on a Hezbollah/Lebanon-Israel ceasefire being part of any broader peace deal with Washington; however, the Lebanese government has negotiated a separate peace with Israel, and in Washington, which has in reality barely held.

"They are using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiation with US," Aoun told CNN. "It’s unacceptable."

He continued, "It was a tough negotiation until we had a major breakthrough." He optimistically assessed that this could serve as path forward to a "just and lasting peace."

Hezbollah, for its part, has been rejecting the deal - also after refusing to take part in negotiations. Hezbollah is denouncing that the US-brokered deal does not guarantee an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

On Friday, "The Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee on Friday warned residents of six towns and villages including south Lebanon's Sarafand, a town on the coastal road between Tyre and Sidon, to immediately evacuate," according to CBS.

"Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported mass displacement from the three villages named in the warning, and it subsequently reported a strike on one of the villages, Arqoun," the report continues.

And Al Jazeera also reports Friday that "Israel's deadly strikes continue across Lebanon, killing at least six today, despite the announcement of a new US-brokered ceasefire agreed between Lebanese and Israeli officials in Washington, DC."
