Last update: 9 hours ago

Energy & Utilities: Montana’s Public Service Commission kicked off a four-day hearing on a potential merger between NorthWestern Energy and South Dakota-based Black Hills Energy, with ratepayers pressing for more transparency and businesses arguing the deal could mean steadier, more reliable power. Fertilizer Pressure: Farmers and South Dakota Corn Growers urged Congress to lift or rethink phosphate import duties, saying opaque pricing and supply-chain disruptions are squeezing already-tight margins. Gas-Tax Politics: Trump wants to pause the federal gas tax, but GOP lawmakers are split and worry about Highway Trust Fund “holes” and costs without offsets. Local Power & Data Centers: Richland County commissioners in Ohio reiterated they can’t ban data centers, even as residents push for local limits. Mining & Water: BLM opened a public comment window on the Dewey-Burdock uranium project in the Black Hills, while Pe’ Sla opponents are still celebrating a recent pullback. Health & Policy: Attorneys general are pushing FDA to reverse draft flavored-vape guidance, and Secret Service security spending for a White House East Wing ballroom is drawing more questions from senators.
