King Coal isn't on life support

Old King Coal may no longer sit at the head of the energy table, but the fuel that once powered the industrial revolution in Great Britain and later in the United States is still an important energy resource. Coal remains an important energy resource for the U.S. economy. It is fair to say that demand for coal power in the U.S. will remain stable and perhaps modestly increase over the next several years.

Fortunately, President Donald Trump and his administration recognize the importance of coal to the economy and to national security. The president has highlighted that coal is a critical natural resource in several executive orders.
