A coalition of big coal companies, utilities and labor unions urged President Trump on Thursday to adopt a coal-based climate change plan as part of his infrastructure agenda.

St. Louis-based Peabody Energy, one of the largest coal mining companies in the world, with coal mining, utility and other labor groups, embarked on a letter campaign to get Trump and Congress to endorse a plan to build clean coal plants with pipelines as a way to boost fossil fuel use, increase jobs and renew the nation’s infrastructure.
