‘You can't have it both ways': Trump's opposition to green power clashes with his AI agenda
'Without any eminent domain you wouldn't have any highways, you wouldn't have any schools, you wouldn't have any roadways,' he said in 2019. 'If we can't make a deal, we take the land and we pay them through a court process … otherwise you could never build anything.' The Energy Department said it canceled the Grain Belt Express loan guarantee because it was 'not critical for the federal government to have a role in supporting' the project, and that the conditions necessary to issue the guarantee were 'unlikely to be met.' 'To ensure more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, DOE has terminated its conditional commitment,' the department said. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who opened a civil investigation into the project earlier this month, called the decision a win in 'a major battle in the war for Missouri private property rights and farmers.''At our urging, the DOE saw this boondoggle for what it was, pulled the plug on nearly $5 billion in taxpayer-funds, and Missouri families are better off for it,' Bailey said in a statement. But the project's backers point out that the U.S. is badly in need of new transmission, especially the type that connects regional grids. Grain Belt Express is designed to connect four of those grids. It already received permits from the four states that it would cross and is set to begin construction next year. The line would run from western Kansas, where excess wind power is clogging the grid, to Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, where electricity demand is soaring. When the Plains grid is under strain from extreme weather, the line could reverse direction and carry power the other way. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.), a former clean energy developer, said killing the project would be 'the biggest own-goal by an administration that says they're committed to building out transmission.' 'If the purpose of U.S. energy policy is to benefit consumers, that's a no-brainer, right?' he said. Chicago-based Invenergy, which is developing Grain Belt Express, has tried to appeal to Trump by painting the project as an opportunity for him to secure a major win where the Biden administration could not — completing a project that would advance the key pillars of his energy agenda. Earlier this year, the White House touted the project among its 'wins' for American investment. And while the line has largely been marketed as a boon for wind power, Invenergy has pivoted and is now looking to connect a new gas plant and possibly existing coal generation to the line. In a statement Wednesday, a project spokesperson signaled the company would continue to pursue the project — albeit without the government financing. 'While we are disappointed about the LPO loan guarantee, a privately financed Grain Belt Express transmission superhighway will advance President Trump's agenda of American energy and technology dominance while delivering billions of dollars in energy cost savings, strengthening grid reliability and resiliency, and creating thousands of American jobs,' the spokesperson said.

Taylor Fritz starts hard-court circuit with a win at the DC Open. Venus Williams loses in doubles
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top-seeded Taylor Fritz got his North American hard-court season off to a strong start by hitting 11 aces and saving the only break point he faced in a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Aleksandar Vukic at the DC Open on Wednesday. Fritz is coming off a semifinal run on the grass of Wimbledon. He will be trying to replicate last year's strong showing in this portion of the season, when he reached his first Grand Slam final at the U.S. Open. After getting a first-round bye, Fritz now will play in the third round against Matteo Arnaldi, who eliminated No. 16 Lorenzo Sonego 7-5, 7-5. Seeded men advancing included No. 7 Alex de Minaur, No. 8 Daniil Medvedev and No. 11 Jiri Lehecka, but No. 10 Alexei Popyrin was defeated by qualifier Wu Yibing 7-5, 5-7, 6-3. Venus Williams' run in doubles with partner Hailey Baptiste ended in the second round with a 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 loss in a champion's tiebreaker to second-seeded Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai. The 45-year-old Williams is competing at her first tournament in more than a year — and first in doubles since 2022 — and she and Baptiste won their first-round match on Monday. Williams will play her second-round singles match Thursday against Magdalena Frech. On Tuesday, Williams became the second-oldest woman to win a tour-level singles match, beating Payton Stearns — who is 23 — in straight sets. In women's singles play Wednesday, unseeded Anna Kalinskaya eliminated No. 8 seed Magda Linette 6-4, 6-0. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press
