Trump announces $700 million investment in coal plants and California export terminal

CBS News by Alain Sherter 6/4/2026

The U.S. is stepping up its investment in coal as President Trump doubles down on his commitment to bolster the fossil fuel industry.

During an event on Thursday, Mr. Trump announced that his administration would commit $700 million in funding for coal plants and a new export terminal.

"Today, we're taking historic action to bring down the price of energy and the cost of living for all Americans with the power of clean, beautiful coal," Mr. Trump said from the Oval Office, where he announced the new funding initiative.

"If you look at China, if you look at so many of the successful countries, they're using coal," he added. "If you look at some of the real great failures, countries, they're using wind."

The new investment in the coal industry was first reported by Bloomberg.

Trump coal investment plan includes new West Virginia plant
Southern WV Online
June 4, 2026

 President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a nearly $700 million federal investment in coal plants and energy infrastructure, including funding for a new coal-fired power plant in West Virginia.

The plan, unveiled Thursday during a White House event titled “Beautiful, Clean Coal,” would use the Defense Production Act to direct federal funding toward coal-related projects across the country.

$425 million would be used to support 13 existing coal plants in 10 states, including West Virginia.

The proposal also includes nearly $200 million in U.S. Department of Energy grants to help build two new coal plants – one in Alaska and one in West Virginia – and restart a coal plant in Maryland.  ...

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
