These orders allow some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-pledges-to-increase-pollution-for-another-decade\/\" title=\"China \u2018Pledges\u2019 to Increase Pollution for Another Decade\">coal-fired power plants<\/a> to continue operating to meet power demands, identify areas for coal mining on federal lands, adn remove existing regulatory barriers. Additionally, the orders grant a two-year exemption for coal plants from certain federal emissions requirements and provide exemptions from Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Trump described coal as &#8220;beautiful, clean&#8221; and emphasized its reliability and affordability. <\/p>\n<p>He also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">addressed state-level climate change initiatives<\/a>, claiming they jeopardize American energy dominance and security. His directive to the Attorney General focuses on identifying state laws that hinder domestic energy resource development. While the coal industry remains a notable energy source,contributing to 16% of the U.S. electricity in 2023 (down from 45% in 2010), Trump&#8217;s actions have drawn criticism from Democratic leaders, who argue that the federal government cannot override state authority in environmental matters. Despite the controversy, the orders aim to prioritize the jobs of American coal miners.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump has released a new series of executive orders focused on American energy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-treasury-department-hits-iran-new-sanctions-targeting-nuclear-program-ahead-oman-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> signed four orders aimed at helping the coal industry on Tuesday, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-coal-ai-data-centers-energy-dominance-693e2604785c07ff790d9afd2e06d543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from the Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>The orders entail allowing some coal-fired power plants to keep working to meet power demands in the U.S., identifying potential places for coal mining on federal lands, and removing barriers from doing so.<\/p>\n<p>The actions also involve permitting coal-fired plants a two-year exemption from federal requirements to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals and offering exemptions on regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press reported statements made by the president at the White House signing ceremony as coal miners in hard hats were present.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I call it beautiful, clean coal.
