The Trump administration boosts coal with $625M in funding, opens millions of acres for mining, and cuts royalties, sparking environmental concerns.
The Trump administration announced a sweeping effort to revive the U.S. coal industry, allocating $625 million to modernize coal plants and opening 13.1 million acres of federal land for mining, while cutting coal royalties from 12.5% to 7%.
The moves, part of a broader push for energy independence, include delaying compliance deadlines for coal plants and revising air quality rules to ease regulatory burdens.
Critics warn the policies risk increased pollution and undermine long-term climate goals, arguing that market forces favor cleaner energy sources.
Environmental and public health advocates also express concern over weakened safety regulations and limited accountability for mining violations.
