Big oil reportedly paid a $1B bribe to get everything they want from the regime. I wonder how much the coal industry paid?

EPA to ax landmark climate finding Thursday

“On Thursday, President Trump will be joined by [Environmental Protection Agency] Administrator Lee Zeldin to formalize the rescission of the 2009 Obama-era endangerment finding,” Leavitt said during a White House press briefing.

Leavitt, in her remarks, said the administration would separately hold an event Wednesday “to tout clean, beautiful coal.”

Hey! Maybe those "Trump class" battleships will be coal fired?

Trump to direct Pentagon to buy coal in bid to revive industry

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will unveil plans to use government funding and Pentagon contracts to sustain U.S. coal-fired power plants as he seeks to drive domestic reliance on the fossil fuel.

The marquee initiative, set to be announced Wednesday, will come through an executive order, as Trump directs Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to enter into agreements to purchase electricity from coal plants to power military operations, according to a White House official.

Trump tried to boost coal use during the first go around, with a regulation that required each utility company to source some minimum percentage of electricity from plants that have fuel stored on site. The only plants that would qualify would be nuke, and coal fired.

All these "decider people" are old. They don't care what the world will be like in 50-100 years. Their only interest is in how much money they can stuff in their pockets now.
