Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a full forum post.
- **Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4, never more than 8.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail, fact, insight. No summarizing/cutting short.
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style. Add commentary, opinions, reactions.
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER repeat old posts.
- **Source Article:** Trump admin's coal investments assist plants with repeated violations (Ars Technica, Jun 21, 2026)
- **Key Details from Source:**
- At least 3 of 12 DOE-funded coal plants have repeated Clean Air/Water Act violations.
- Cumberland Fossil Plant (TVA, Tennessee): Slated to close in 2023 (units in 2026/2028) after 2011 multibillion-dollar settlement for failing to install pollution controls. Cited for violations in 2017 & 2023. Trump admin replaced 4 TVA board members, reneged on retirement plan in Feb 2026. Now gets $46M federal pledge to extend lifespan.
- Grand River Energy Center (Oklahoma): Received $28.5M toward $76.5M project. Fined $8,100 in April by OK for failing to test particulate matter. 5 air pollution violation notices 2017-2021. Exceeded wastewater limits multiple times in past 3 years. Operator Grand River Dam Authority didn't address violations.
- Roxboro Steam Electric Plant (North Carolina): Receives $28.4M toward $72.7M project. Duke Energy cited 6 times in past 10 years (reporting issues, wastewater limits). 2019 settlement required excavating 80M tons of coal ash after groundwater contamination.
- Angie Mummaw (local organizer, 8 miles from Cumberland): Calls grant a "slap in the face," wants clean energy investment.
- Maggie Shober (Southern Alliance for Clean Energy): Retiring coal plants combats pollution/climate change; extending operations makes it worse.
- Health impacts: Coal pollution linked to early death, impacts hundreds of miles away. One study: Cumberland's toxic fine particles contributed to 1,000 deaths in NY/MA from 1999-2020.
- Trump admin: Unraveled climate regulations, relaxed enforcement. Trump committed to "reversing the American war on coal." DOE spokesperson didn't answer specific questions, gave generic grid reliability statement.
- Courtney Bernhardt (Environmental Integrity Project): Funding violating plants aligns with Trump's policies, "not surprised but disturbed."
- Scott Fiedler (TVA spokesman): Cites "increasing power demand and changes in regulatory landscape" for Feb decision. Claims structured process.
- Southern Environmental Law Center: TVA didn't give public comment opportunity. Delaney King: Cumberland is symptom of larger problem, old/dirty/unreliable plants dragged into modern regulation.
- Local impact: Sooty dust on cars/homes.
- Christopher Sellers (Stony Brook Univ): Repeated violations indicate fundamental issues, health issue not fixed.

2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1-3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences.
- Include EVERY detail.
- Exciting/passionate tone.
- End with Source URL.
- I need to carefully count sentences per paragraph. I'll aim for exactly 2 or 3 paragraphs, each with 4-8 sentences. Given the volume of details, I'll need to pack them efficiently but stay within the 4-8 sentence limit per paragraph. This is tricky because the constraint says "Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail" but also "4-8 sentences per paragraph". I'll need to combine multiple
