<p>President Donald Trump took action on Tuesday to slash regulations and expedite leases for American coal mining, lending a hand to an industry that has been rocked by the push for so-called clean energy.</p>
<p>Appearing at the White House in front of a group of American coal miners, Trump signed the Defense Production Act, vowing to &#8220;end the government bias against coal&#8221; and &#8220;turbo charge coal mining in America.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s order comes as he seeks to boost American energy production and use tariffs as leverage to bring manufacturing and jobs to the United States.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted the beautiful clean coal,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining in federal lands &#8230; and we&#8217;ll streamline permitting. We will end the government bias against coal, and we&#8217;re going to unlock the sweeping authorities of the Defense Production Act.&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump blasted leftist environmental policies accepted by the Biden administration that &#8220;killed jobs&#8221; and sent prices &#8220;soaring.&#8221; Last year, former President Joe Biden ended new leases for coal mining companies, arguing that coal leasing has major effects on human health and the climate, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/05/16/1251856806/biden-ending-new-leases-in-americas-top-coal-region" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Biden energy policy was to put America last &#8230; not a good policy. Under my administration, we&#8217;re putting America first,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;On my first day in office, I terminated the Green New Scam, I declared the National Energy Emergency and withdrew from the unfair, one-sided, and extremely costly to the United States only Paris Climate Accord.&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump&#8217;s move was praised by the National Mining Association, which called it &#8220;a stark shift from the prior administration’s punitive regulatory agenda, hostile energy policies and unlawful land grabs.”</p>
<p>The Trump administration has already been setting the stage for a renewed coal mining push as the Environmental Protection Agency began removing emissions and pollution restrictions on coal plant last month. The Trump administration also approved an expansion of a coal mine in Montana, and the Bureau of Land Management is looking into an emergency lease for coal mining in North Dakota, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/04/08/coal-executive-orders-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>A core principle of Trump&#8217;s second-term agenda is expanding American energy production, a vision he regularly discussed on the campaign trail.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to put the miners back to work,&#8221; Trump added on Tuesday. &#8220;I&#8217;ve said I was going to do this, and I&#8217;ve said it loud and clear, and it&#8217;s time to do it.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a>: &quot;Today, we&#39;re taking historic action to help American workers, miners, families and consumers. We&#39;re ending Joe Biden&#39;s war on beautiful, clean coal once and for all&#8230; we&#39;re going to put the miners back to work.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/XSpoHkT11X">pic.twitter.com/XSpoHkT11X</a></p>

<p>According to the Energy Information Administration, U.S. coal output dropped 32% between 2017 and 2024, and only around 175 coal plants still generate a significant amount of electricity in the United States. Wyoming is by far the <a href="https://profession.americangeosciences.org/society/intersections/faq/which-states-are-largest-producers-and-consumers-coal/#:~:text=Coal%20in%20the%20U.S.%20is,(Alaska%2C%20Arizona%2C%20Colorado%2C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leading</a> producer of coal in the United States, followed by West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Kentucky. The coal industry has also suffered as America has moved to more natural gas production.</p>
