President Trump’s “America First” energy plan makes clear that the White House is committed to “reviving” the country’s long-suffering coal industry.
It’s part of Trump’s effort to live up to his campaign pledge to coal miners, whom he has told: “Get ready, because you’re going to be working your asses off.”
As soon as this week, Trump could back up that campaign talk with real action. His energy plan, which appeared on WhiteHouse.gov just minutes after President Obama stepped down, promises to eliminate regulations that have been “harmful” for coal and other energy industries.
