U.S. Coal Power Surges As Trump Reverses Biden’s War On Energy

Electricity demand is soaring, coal plants are staying online, and the grid is relying on fossil fuels more than ever.

The United States generated more electricity from coal between January and April 2025 than it did during the same period in 2024, when the Biden administration was waging its assault on the energy resource, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). [emphasis, links added]


Coal power generation climbed nearly 25% in early 2025 compared to the same window in 2024, fueled by deregulation, surging electricity demand and elevated natural gas prices, according to EIA data and expert analysis shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Though former President Joe Biden cracked down on the coal industry with stringent regulation, President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders to boost the coal industry and his administration has targeted harsh Biden-era rules on coal plants to secure the power grid.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Good.
Take those empty unit coal trains out of storage. Locomotives, too.
Load the trains.
Get the crew callers busy.
Get things moving.
