Trump to mandate Pentagon buy coal power, fund plant upgrades, boost fossil fuels.
Trump is set to issue an executive order requiring the Pentagon to purchase electricity from domestic coal-fired power plants, using Cold War-era authorities, to support the struggling coal industry.
The move, expected Wednesday, includes $175 million in funding for upgrades at six coal plants in Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The White House will host an event featuring coal executives and miners to promote the initiative, which aims to boost energy reliability and lower costs amid rising demand from artificial intelligence.
The action aligns with Trump’s broader push to expand fossil fuel use, reduce federal support for renewables, and roll back climate regulations, including a 2009 EPA finding on greenhouse gas emissions.
The Pentagon and White House declined to comment beyond standard procedures.
