Trump’s Big Coal Move Is A Giant Backhand to ‘America Last’ Democrats

Under Biden, the EPA issued regulations that would have forced the closure of dozens of coal plants. The DOE has since issued nearly 19 emergency orders just to keep aging plants running long enough to prevent blackouts. Thursday’s announcement is the administration’s most aggressive move yet to stop the bleeding and go on offense.

From the Oval Office, Trump was joined by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and a group of governors and members of Congress. The money will protect 14 coal plants and 42 coal mines, build two new plants, and construct a major new export terminal.
