Trump Orders Pentagon to Buy Coal Power
President Trump signs executive order directing the Pentagon to strike long-term power deals with coal-fired plants, ensuring reliable energy for military bases and a resilient grid against unreliable green fantasies. He calls coal "beautiful, clean" and essential to national defense and economic security, while funneling $175 million through the Energy Department to upgrade plants in coal states like West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia.
