President Donald Trump just sent a clear message to the green energy zealots and our foreign adversaries: America's beautiful clean coal is here to stay, and it's going to power our national defense for decades to come.
In a bold executive order signed Tuesday, the Commander-in-Chief directed the Department of War to establish long-term Power Purchase Agreements with America's coal-fired power plants, ensuring that military installations, command centers, and defense-industrial bases remain fully operational under any circumstances — including natural disasters and wartime scenarios.
No More Gambling with National Security
Let's be crystal clear about what this means, Patriots: President Trump is refusing to let our military's power supply depend on whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. While the Biden regime spent four years trying to destroy American energy independence and force our armed forces to rely on unreliable "green" sources, Trump is restoring common sense.
"Coal generation ensures that military installations, command centers, and defense-industrial bases remain fully powered under all conditions," the executive order states. This isn't complicated, folks — it's called keeping the lights on when it matters most.
The order builds on Trump's earlier executive actions from April 2025, including the brilliantly titled "Reinvigorating America's Beautiful Clean Coal Industry" order, creating a comprehensive framework for American energy dominance.
Department of War Takes the Lead
Under this directive, the Secretary of War, coordinating with the Secretary of Energy, will prioritize coal power agreements that enhance grid reliability, on-site fuel security, and mission assurance for defense and intelligence capabilities. In other words, our military will have abundant, stockpiled fuel that can run for extended operations — not solar panels that become useless during a prolonged conflict or national emergency.
Remember, this addresses the national energy emergency President Trump declared on Day One of his second term. While Democrats screamed about "climate emergencies," Trump recognized the REAL emergency: America's dangerously weakened energy infrastructure after years of radical green policies.
America First Energy Policy in Action
The United States sits on the world's largest coal reserves — enough to power our nation for centuries. Yet the previous administration wanted to shut it all down to appease climate activists and globalist organizations pushing their anti-American agenda.
President Trump understands what the elites refuse to acknowledge: energy security IS national security. You can't fight and win wars with windmills. You can't power missile defense systems with good intentions. And you certainly can't trust China-dependent solar supply chains to keep America safe.
This executive order represents everything the America First movement stands for — using OUR resources, protecting OUR military, and putting American workers and national security ahead of globalist climate fantasies.
The question every American should be asking: Why did it take Donald Trump returning to office to finally prioritize keeping our military's lights on? The answer tells you everything you need to know about what the previous administration's true priorities were.
