Trump Administration Pushes to Bring Coal Back With New Funding
Ars Technica·Monday, 8 June 2026
The Trump administration is making another push to revive coal power in the US, with money to keep existing coal plants open and fund the first new coal plants built in over a decade. This goes against the global trend of phasing out coal to fight climate change. The move is likely to face legal and political resistance.
Why It Matters
When the world's largest economy doubles down on coal, it affects global climate negotiations and energy markets. India — still one of the biggest coal users in the world — watches US energy policy closely, as it shapes international pressure on coal phase-outs.
