Trump opens land for coal mining, offers to boost coal-fired power
plants
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=239870&nl=daily]

The Trump administration said it will open 13 million acres of federal
lands for coal mining and provide $625 million to recommission or
modernize coal-fired power plants. The moves come as President Donald
Trump has vowed to reverse the years-long decline in the U.S. coal
industry. Coal is a reliable but polluting energy source that's long
been shrinking amid environmental regulations and competition from
cheaper natural gas. Under Trump's orders, the Energy Department has
required fossil-fueled power plants in Michigan and Pennsylvania to
keep operating past their retirement dates to meet rising U.S. power
demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and
electric cars. The latest announcement on Monday would allow those
efforts to expand.

When Emmanuel Macron took to the stage at the United Nations in New

France's recognition of a Palestinian state, and another in defence of
multilateralism. The first earned him warm applause; the second
reminded his remaining supporters why they voted for him. "We have no
right to cynicism. We have no right to fatigue. We have no right to
the spirit of defeat," he declared. Mr Macron remains a vigorous
figure in foreign affairs. Yet no amount of energetic diplomacy abroad
can mask what is happening at home: the unravelling of his great

LOS ANGELES--Brian Mainolfi has been drawing since he came to this
city in 1994. The Baltimore native started as an assistant to
legendary Looney Tunes animator Chuck Jones, worked on Disney's "The
Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Mulan," and spent a decade on the
animated sitcom "American Dad."The appeal of the work was simple.
"People love cartoons," he said. "And I love making cartoons."Since
his last show was canceled in 2024, Mainolfi's artistic output has
been limited to dinosaurs and monsters in his sketchbook. Like
thousands of people who work in the entertainment industry, he has
become collateral damage of a precipitous slowdown in production. The
only work he's found is teaching an animation class at a Cal State
campus three hours away, for $350 a week.
