US coal industry

President Donald Trump announced efforts to revive the US coal industry, claiming coal would reduce energy costs despite evidence that it is one of the most expensive electricity sources in the US. The article highlights coal's decline, noting it now produces 15% of the nation's electricity, with renewables like wind and solar becoming cheaper alternatives. Coal also faces criticism for high greenhouse gas emissions, toxic pollutants, and hazardous byproducts.

The US is emerging as a global energy superpower, with nuclear power taking center stage, after years of efforts by radical environmental groups to strangle America's oil, gas, and coal industries. The nation is shifting away from costly wind and solar alternatives. This energy comeback is expected to have significant implications.
