Oh, this is great.

So I don't even know where to start with all the mess of math.

Answer that question.

Are you even tracking the consumer costs of those coal plants?

And costs are going down across the country when you look at EPA's impacts.

Where are you tracking the consumer costs of those coal plants?

Are you kidding me?

Coal plants even staying open?

You think that the math is it's better for West Virginia if you close down their coal plants and put these people out of work and tell them to learn to code?

Is it saving them on energy access?

Is it saving them on jobs?

You can talk across me all you like.

You are raising costs.

Raising costs.

You're raising costs on purpose because the money that you get when you raise costs from consumers goes to Trump's big fossil fuel donors.

So you're referring to the 2024 mercury and air toxic standards.

We kept in place the strict 2012 mercury and air toxic standards that were working.

There was a targeted effort towards the end of the Biden administration through a number of rules to try to tell coal miners that they should learn to code and to try to make coal plants across this country shut down.

Steam electric ELG, coal combustion residual, Clean Power Plan 2.0,

The 2024 mercury and air toxic standards collectively, there were coal plants all across the entire country that were targeted for extinction because of it, and now they're able to stay open.
