Donald Trump adores coal power, coal power plants, and especially coal miners. Sure, burning coal is catastrophically bad for the planet, but it also infuriates his political enemies, so he’s all for it.
During his campaigns, he promised coal miners he’d revitalize their industry: “all those plants that have been closed are going to be opened if they’re modern enough, or they’ll be ripped down and brand-new ones will be built, and we’re going to put the miners back to work.”
