Trump Announces Executive Order Directing Department of War to Work Directly with Coal Plants on the New Power Purchasing Agreements

‘Coal is also critical to our national security’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “That’s why I’m also pleased to announce that, in just a moment, I will sign an executive order that directs the Department of War to work directly with coal plants on the new power purchasing agreements, ensuring that we have more reliable power and stronger and more resilient grid power. And we’re going to be buying a lot of coal through the military now and it’s going to be less expensive and actually much more effective than what we have been using for many, many years. And, again, with the environmental progress that’s been made on coal, it’s going to be just as clean.”
