The Honorable Chris Wright
Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy
1000 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20585
Dear Mr. Wright
Congratulations on your confirmation as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy from the American Coal Council (ACC). We look forward to collaborating with you to advance policies supporting the coal supply chain and ensuring America's thermal and metallurgical coal resources fuel economic growth. The ACC uniquely represents the entire coal supply chain, a vital industry and way of life for millions of Americans.
While coal drives economic prosperity, challenges like renewable energy mandates, fossil fuel restrictions, and baseload power plant closures threaten grid reliability and our economic future. Addressing global energy competition and modernizing infrastructure with coal resources is crucial. Your bold commitment to energy security is truly appreciated. The ACC has long advocated for an energy plan that works and that is through innovation and using energy sources that work.
We must foster a regulatory environment encouraging investment and innovation in the coal sector, guided by reliability, resilience, and security. With supportive policies, technological advancements, and a commitment to energy dominance, coal will remain vital to America's energy strategy.
Sierra Club v. Dept of Energy, 4:25-cv-5027
