Trump Moves To End Biden’s War On Coal That Devastated U.S. Energy
President Trump is taking the necessary steps to revive the coal industry, but there's a long way to go.

Trump really digs coal
President Trump took two major steps to end the 14-year-old Democrat war against the coal industry and cheap electricity. Although Greens have promised to sue, they are unlikely to succeed as the moves have been pretty much pre-approved by the Supreme Court. [emphasis, links added]


First, the EPA proposed rolling back all greenhouse-gas emission standards for coal plants. The Obama EPA first issued climate emissions standards for coal plants in August 2015. These rules didn’t last long as they were [struck down] by the Supreme Court in February 2016.

Although President Trump proceeded to replace the Clean Power Plan with the much less expensive and more practical Affordable Clean Energy rule in June 2019, that effort was rejected by the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in January 2021.

But that turned out to be a Pyrrhic victory for climate activists.

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

Coal is King

And we are the Saudi Arabia of it.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Coal is organic and made from plants.

Improvements in combustion technolgies can increase efficiency and reduce pollution.

With research, they may be able to identify productive uses for fly ash.  Fly ash can contain trace amounts of rare earth minerals.
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview
