It was meant to be just another Michigan battle stop.  ,
But on April 29, Donald Trump made a decision that most officials haven’t attempt: it was based on responsibility rather than magnification.

The Trump administration   ordered the West Olive, Michigan flower to remain empty less than a month before its scheduled closing.
Never forever. Simply long enough to prevent the network from eroding, prevent rising utility bills, and prevent nearly one million Michigan residents from experiencing a outage during the sweltering summer months.
It was economic folly, according to the mainstream media.  ,
But it was authority to families who depend on reliable, cheap electricity.  ,
True, grounded, and not-up-for-debate authority.
Emergency Powers for a Situation the Left Pretended Didn’t Emerge
Using Section 202( c ) of the Federal Power Act isn’t some obscure flaw. It’s a legal instrument specifically designed for this kind of situation, which poses a significant risk to network balance.  ,
And while it’s uncommon, it’s not all that uncommon. Presidents have used it before in situations where the country’s electronic foundation needed to be strengthened, such as after natural disasters, during energy shortages, and when the country’s energy system needed to be strengthened.
So why is there such anger?
Because this day, there was no war or wind to blame. It was self-inflicted.  ,
The J. H. Campbell flower was shut down because demagogues decided it had fulfilled its function, not because it broke, but because it was broken.  ,
Years ago, Consumers Energy’s closing plan was stymied by regulators who were determined to polish their green credentials.  ,
Never thinking that the network wasn’t prepared.  ,

Never mind that no similar baseload power was electronically to change what the plant offered.
Energy stability isn’t a political issue, the Trump presidency acknowledged a fact that too many people don’t realize.  ,
It’s a lesson of the day.  ,
It’s wrong to leave people susceptible to disruptions in the name of political snafu.  ,
It wasn’t coal, it was courage that led to the decision to activate emergency powers.
The unwavering tyranny of the left
Communist organizations and alternative lobbying organizations erupted right away as the order hit the wires. Planet Detroit  warned about pollution and rising deaths. Coral Media  cried out in disbelief. Trump “defying” Michigan’s energy potential, according to ABC News, who was parroting protesters. Their answer was not just sluggish; it was also obstructed.
What they neglected to mention is that the network technician, MISO, acknowledged there was an increased chance this summer. In their stability judgment, they made it clear that there would be limited generation reserves during times of high demand.  ,
But that particular phrase not made headlines.
Otherwise, the national media concentrated on theoretical” climate damage,” bronchitis rates, and carbon emissions.
They ignored the working mother whose windows system AC prevents her child from overheating.  ,
The diabetic grandfather’s hormone needs to be refrigerated, but they ignored him. These are not fictitious predictions of the weather.  ,
They are genuine individuals. People on the left frequently act as protection until they require trustworthy strength.

It wasn’t a tantrum about waste. A handle anger ensued.  ,
And Trump obstructed their access.
The True Value of Green Absolutism
We are repeatedly told that fossil fuels are an bygone paragraph. that the future will consist of solar power plants, wind fields, and great purposes.  ,
However, here’s the fact they don’t want you to know: the system for that vision hasn’t been established, not even yet. And it’s unsafe to pretend then.
Energy policy has been transformed into a cleanliness test due to the public’s weather dogmatism. Either you support” 100 percentage renewable” or you get labeled a science denier. They disregard the fact that accurate knowledge recognizes limitations, accepts trade-offs, and changes.
Keep Texas in mind for 2021. During a thaw, the breeze generation slowed. Solar was worthless under the ice.  ,
The generator sank. Dozens of people died.  ,
That is not neglect of culture.  ,
That’s the harm of assuming that a community can be carried by weather-dependent energy in extraordinary circumstances.
In Michigan, the same troops were at work.  ,
Trump anticipated it.  ,
The left disputed that it was even probable.
It’s not just intellectual, either.  ,
It is fatal.
When Leadership Means Saying” No” to the Experts
America has operated for decades under the false impression that people who are affected by the consequences are better off off than bureaucrats and consider tanks.  ,
The “experts” at weather summits, Ivy League institutions, and governmental power agencies assured us that closing coal plants was bright and healthy. that power shortages were past remnants.

They erred. Even worse, they were arrogant about it.
Trump said no when some officials do these days.  ,
No to the bogus perception.  ,
No to the never-deliverable types.  ,
No to the absurd claim that windmills and optimistic thinking can take the place of 24/7 baseload strength.
This was a leader who refused to quiver, much like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers or Truman did with the Marshall Plan despite criticism.  ,
Although it may not be popular, it was accurate.
Elections Associated with the Grid
Let’s face it, this was democratic. No Trump’s action, but their revolt.  ,
The same group that has remained motionless as Californians experience rolling blackouts somehow found a message when Trump took action to protect the network.
Why?Â
Because of its importance as the new social field, elites impose obedience and demonstrate their social superiority there.  ,
Shut down your gas heater.  ,
Purchase a Tesla.  ,
Compliment the Windmill.  ,
If you doubt it, you’re going in the wrong direction. You’re bad if you resist.
Trump destroyed that, I believe.
He urged Americans to remember that morality is not the focus of strength plan. It involves energy.  ,
the ventilator’s stay active.  ,
the kind that keeps a transportation light operational.  ,
the kind that keeps an metal furnace operating.
Not in the interest of keeping a flower alive. It was about upholding the tenet that the federal serves people rather than the other way around.
A Victory for the popular perception
It wasn’t just a gain for Michigan when the electricity continued to flow. Working-class Americans across the nation benefited from it. The kind of Americans who pay every cent when the network falters and prices soar but don’t appear on climate sections or surrogate files.

This was their way of doing things. For the electrician in Muskegon.  ,
The resident in Grand Haven.  ,
The caregiver in Holland working on the weekends.  ,
They may not understand Section 202( c ), but they are aware of what it means when their lights don’t flicker during a heatwave in July.
Trump did not protect a coal mine. He kept a claim.  ,
The government is attempting to protect its citizens under the leadership of someone with a foundation rather than punish them for their intellectual deeds.
And that’s the current conflict. No topic who gets left in the dark, there are those who think America does run on power and those who think it should walk toward paradise.
The lamps remained on this day.  ,
Real prevailed this day.
Thank God for that.  ,
And I want to congratulate Trump for carrying it all the way.
The public’s profiteer knows no bounds, from taxpayer-funded pull shows to billions wasted on phony” climate” emergencies.
