U.S. president Donald Trump will sign a decree on Wednesday ordering the Pentagon to buy electricity from coal power plants," said Bloomberg's agency. This is part of the plan to revitalize the coal sector in the US.
According to Bloomberg, the president is to sign a decree ordering Minister of War Pete Hegseth to enter into contracts for the acquisition of electricity from coal power plants to "power military operations". No more details of the initiative are given. This is to be 1 of a number of initiatives that the president will announce during a gathering with representatives of the coal manufacture and miners in the White House.
Trump is besides expected to announce state-run $175 million investments to improve six coal plants, which are intended to prolong their operation and increase productivity. These will be Trump's next actions, promoting, as he calls it, "beautiful, pure coal". In April, during a akin gathering with miners, he signed a decree, recognising coal as critical mineral, and besides announced a number of another actions to abolish alleged environmental regulations, increase coal extraction and block the closure of mines.
As White home spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday, Trump is expected to "promote beautiful, clean coal as America's most reliable and affordable origin of energy, especially in periods of highest demand".
– The president will talk about how clean, beautiful coal not only provides electricity supply to our country, but besides reduces electricity costs across the country She added.
This initiative is linked to the expanding avalanche request and increase in current prices due to the expansion of data centres on which artificial intelligence is based. Nevertheless, Trump announced the fight against alternate energy sources, especially wind power plants.
On Thursday, Trump's administration is expected to finalise the abolition of the ideological premise that man is causing a threat to climate change. This unproven technological premise was the basis for a number of restrictions under the pretext of combating greenhouse gas emissions, including absurd regulations on car exhaust emissions.
