Coal: Still powering America and worth defending


The Clean Power Plan, Waters of the U.S. rule, endless permitting delays, and duplicative environmental reviews have been used not to improve safety or reduce emissions, but to deliberately dismantle the coal sector and the communities that depend upon it. Partnering with the Friends of Coal, a grassroots movement that has energized support across coalfield communities, this alliance will ensure that the message of coal’s importance is heard—in every statehouse, every newsroom, and every congressional office in the nation. To our miners and their families, to our communities and our allies across the nation, I say this: the fight for coal’s future is the fight for America’s future.
