President Donald Trump has promised to revive the coal industry, and the Energy Department is serving notice that it’s ready to move forward.
The tweet on the Energy Department’s official X feed shows a piece of coal and a Wendy Williams phrase that’s become a meme:
Trump has long promoted coal and other fossil fuels, and he has a grudge against most forms of clean energy.
He famously despises windmills, but also isn’t fond of solar ― nor does he like green-powered vehicles such as electric cars, despite briefly promoting former friend Elon Musk’s Tesla vehicles at a White House event this year before the two fell out.
Trump has also declared a national emergency to fast-track new energy production ― specifically nuclear, oil, gas, and coal.
