Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for August 18 2025.
The Trump Regime's energy department ordered the antiquated J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in Ottawa County to remain open despite the plant-owner Consumers' Energy's decision to shut it down for good last May.
The Regime cited some unknown "energy emergency" for its decision.
But as Pat Johnston explains, there is no "free hand of the marketplace" with The Trump Regime. Our economy is directed by Dear Leader's (tiny) hand of the marketplace, and it's having devastating effects on the working class.
