Trump Signs Executive Orders to Revive U.S. Coal Industry

In a bold move to boost the struggling U.S. coal industry, President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at revitalizing coal production across the nation. These orders target increased coal power generation amid rising electricity demands, particularly from the artificial intelligence sector. While Trump emphasizes the importance of coal as a reliable energy source, critics argue that the push for coal represents a step backward in the fight against climate change. Supporters, including GOP senators, assert that coal deserves recognition and a role in the energy conversation. However, many environmental advocates are concerned that these policies could undermine clean energy initiatives and ultimately fail to revive an industry that has been largely abandoned in recent years.
