US President Donald Trump signed executive orders on April 8 that aim to boost coal production in his latest action that runs counter to global efforts to curb carbon emissions.
Coal-burning plants generate less than 20% of US electricity, a drop from 50% in 2000, according to the Energy Information Administration, as fracking and other drilling techniques have hiked production of natural gas. Growth in solar and wind power has also cut coal use.
“We’re bringing back an industry that was abandoned,” Trump said at the White House, standing in front of about three dozen mostly male coal miners wearing hard hats.
“We’re going to put the miners back to work,” Trump said about a workforce that has sunk to about 40,000 from 70,000 ten years ago.
Trump, a Republican, campaigned on a promise to increase US energy output and has sought to roll back energy and environmental regulations since taking office on January 20.
US electricity demand is rising for the first time in two decades on growth in power-hungry data centers for artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and cryptocurrencies.
