Today, President Trump announced several executive orders to prop up coal.
Jill Tauber, Vice President of Litigation for Climate & Energy, Earthjustice, issued the following statement in response:
“Coal is a disaster for our health, our wallets, and the planet. President Trump’s efforts to rescue failing coal plants and open our lands to destructive mining is another in a series of actions that sacrifices American lives for fossil fuel industry profit. Instead of investing in pollution, we should be leading the way on clean energy.”
