President Donald J. Trump has signed a proclamation to provide a two-year reprieve for certain coal-fired power plants from an environmental rule implemented during the Biden administration. The measure aims to protect the country’s energy grid and security while preventing coal plants from shutting down.
The relief is part of President Trump's efforts to support the coal industry and address concerns about national security and energy reliability. "President Trump recognizes that environmental advocate overreach jeopardizes America’s energy reliability, economic vitality, and national security."
The administration emphasizes a balanced approach between environmental standards and American prosperity. It follows President Trump's consistent focus on ensuring environmental policies contribute rather than detract from economic strength. "Balancing environmental standards with American prosperity: President Trump has consistently prioritized a pragmatic approach, ensuring environmental policies support rather than undermine America’s economic strength and national security."
