10/30/2025 Shows ↗ (Jump To Original Content)
Fortner shares his background growing up in Minnesota and his path to leading the Council before diving into the hard facts about the war on coal. He contrasts the Biden administration’s anti-coal policies with the Trump administration’s support for reliable energy and American jobs. Fortner and Emineth expose the truth about how “green” energy can’t match coal’s dependability and how coal continues to provide high-paying jobs, massive tax revenue, and energy stability across the Midwest. They also break down what “baseload power” really means, why CO2 should be viewed as a valuable commodity, and how carbon capture technology and enhanced oil recovery can benefit both the environment and the economy.
