US federal agencies to 'unleash' coal energy after Biden 'stifled' it: 'Mine, Baby, Mine'

The Departments of Energy and Interior and EPA are expected to take a slate of actions to strengthen the use of coal after Trump's executive order reinvigorating the coal industry.

"Coal is essential for generating 24/7 electricity generation that powers American homes and businesses, but misguided policies from previous administrations have stifled this critical American industry," he said. "With President Trump’s leadership, we are cutting the red tape and bringing back common sense."

Trump signed an executive order Tuesday afternoon that will cut through red tape surrounding the coal industry, including directing the National Energy Dominance Council to designate coal as a "mineral," end a current pause to coal leasing on federal lands, promote coal and coal technology exports, and encourage the use of coal to power artificial intelligence initiatives, Fox News Digital learned of the upcoming executive order. 

The order also instructs the Department of Justice to identify any to find every "unconstitutional" state or local regulation that is "putting our coal miners out of business," according to Trump.
