Surrounded by miners from Rosebud Mining, President Donald Trump signs the Energy Independence Executive Order at Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in Washington on Tuesday. Trump claimed an end to the "war on coal" as he moved to roll back climate protections enacted by President Barack Obama.Re: March 28 news story.
President Donald Trump has declared victory in “the war on coal.” Will we soon see the conversion of modern heating systems to coal furnaces in the White House, Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties? Think of the jobs created in the process, including furnace fabrication and installation, coal delivery services, maintenance and chimney sweeping. EPA administrator Scott Pruitt and the West Wing staff may well be expected to follow suit, leading efforts for the nation’s HVAC systems to undergo the same improvements, thus helping Trump keep his promise to Make America Gray Again.
