  • The DOE warns that reopening over 3,000 square miles for coal leasing could increase blackout risks by 2030, amid rising exports and electricity generation.
  • The DOE warns that without new reliable power sources, blackout risks could increase significantly by 2030 as coal retirements rise and long-term demand grows, guided by new federal methodology.
