"The Dirty Truth Behind Trump’s ‘Clean Coal’ Claims"

President Trump recently issued executive orders aimed at revitalizing the coal industry, inaccurately attributing its decline to environmental regulations. Experts highlight that the rise of cheaper, cleaner alternatives like natural gas primarily drove this downturn. Despite Trump's claims of coal’s cleanliness, it remains a leading source of carbon emissions and pollutants. While he criticizes climate policies, studies show that coal's decline stems from economic factors, not regulations. The push for "clean coal" technology fails to address the environmental impact, complicating the industry's future.
