WASHINGTON – In a ceremony at the White House Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he is ending what he called former President Joe Biden’s war on clean coal.
He said Biden put thousands of coal miners out of work during his time in office. The White House said the order will renew coal leasing.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says the move unlocks more of our resources to achieve American energy dominance.
Trump noted European countries are moving back to coal energy after switching to green energy like wind.
