Importance:High Hi Abbie -- I received a request to send you the quote we will be issuing in response to EPA's regulatory actions today, which you will find below. Rich Nolan, President and CEO, National Mining Association: "The reliability alarms are blaring as power demand growth from AI and data centers is colliding with eroding generation; until now, our energy policy has turned a blind eye to that reality. Everyone from the authorities charged with keeping the lights on to the manufacturers driving our economy have been pleading for a stop to the closures of well-operating plants. When the experts-from FERC to NERC and even the RTOs--tell us we're teetering on the edge of failure, we must believe them. Urgent and decisive action to stop rules that were specifically designed to target and prematurely close well-operating coal power plants is not only appropriate, it's necessary and long overdue." If there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to let me know!
