Republicans declare ‘Coal Week’ as Trump administration leads fossil-fuel comeback
- Details
Senate Republicans introduced a resolution Monday declaring “Coal Week,” as the climate-change movement’s least-favorite energy source enjoys a rebound under the Trump administration.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming was joined by fellow Republicans from Alaska, Utah and West Virginia in sponsoring the resolution that cheers on President Trump for boosting coal after years of opposition under Democratic presidents.
“For years, the Biden and Obama administrations waged a relentless war on American coal, killing jobs, undermining our communities and driving up energy costs for everyday Americans,” Ms. Lummis said. “Under President Trump’s pro-energy leadership, we are fighting back and reversing that destructive agenda."
