Trump Orders Move to Tap Coal Power to Dominate AI

US President Donald Trump is taking action to expand the domestic mining and use of coal in the US. This move aims to power the prosperity of high-energy-consuming data centers while seeking to revitalize the country's declining fossil fuel industry. A senior White House official said Trump is scheduled to sign an executive order on Tuesday afternoon, in which the president will direct the federal government to take a series of measures aimed at revitalizing the coal industry. These actions include emphasizing that the US will resume selling coal mining rights on federal land and ordering it to be designated as a critical mineral. Other measures include accelerating the export of US coal and related technologies. It is uncertain whether technology companies that have already adopted zero-emission nuclear and renewable energy will be eager to power their data centers with coal.
