Trump directs more than $800 million towards reviving polluting coal power

The Trump administration plans to plow more than $800 million into a nationwide revival of coal power as the highly polluting fuel struggles to stand on its own in the marketplace.

President Donald Trump said at a White House event Thursday that the money will go toward opening new coal-fired power plants in Alaska and West Virginia as well as propping up more than a dozen struggling plants across 11 states including Maryland and Arizona.
