- Former President Trump has issued an executive order aimed at fostering partnerships between the U.S. military and coal-fired power plants.
- The order directs the Department of War to specifically procure coal power for military installations across the country.
- Trump’s rationale for this initiative is the belief that coal is “essential” to ensuring national security.
- The announcement was made on a Wednesday, with Trump urging military bases to prepare for an increased reliance on coal energy.
- The move is part of a broader push by Trump to revitalize the coal industry and ensure energy independence.
- This policy initiative underscores Trump’s longstanding support for traditional energy sources, particularly coal, during and after his time in office.
