43% : A barn sitting beside the Gavin plant features a large picture of the former president shaking his fist with the words: "The audits prove Trump won!""I know if Kamala [Harris] and that other gentleman [Tim Walz] had their way this coal plant would be shut down right now
21% : "Blackstone's Schwarzman, who has previously warned of energy shortages and "real unrest" around the world if fossil fuels are phased out too quickly, has allied with Trump, who weakened rules around coal ash disposal and coal plant emissions when he was president.
16% : Trump has vowed to kill off a rule he's called "a regulatory jihad to shut down power plants all across America" if he returns to the White House, while Vance has complained of "wanton harassment of fossil fuel companies" and joined with other Senate Republicans in attempts to block the regulation.
