Trump Orders Pentagon to Buy Coal Power for Military Bases

#WashingtonDC, #USA
Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Defense to secure long-term power purchase agreements with coal-fired power plants for military installations.The directive includes $175M in Department of Energy funding for projects in states such as West Virginia and Ohio to extend the lifespan of aging coal facilities.While industry leaders like James Grech supported the move to bolster national security, environmental advocates like Julie McNamara criticized the policy as a costly reversal of clean energy transitions.
