Coal is the Future You Wont Believe What Trump is Doing!

Like Peas and Carrots: Coal and Electricity

Mama always said 'Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.' Well lately seems like we're getting a whole lot of coal! This fella Secretary Wright he's saying we need more coal. More coal to power all sorts of things like them fancy AI data centers. Now I ain't no computer expert but I reckon them machines gotta eat... electricity that is! And apparently coal is on the menu.

Trump's Big Plan: Make Coal Great Again!

President Trump bless his heart he's about to sign something that'll make coal a 'critical mineral.' Sounds important don't it? It's like when Bubba was talkin' about shrimp – there's shrimp creole shrimp gumbo... well now there's 'critical mineral' coal! This means they gonna go find coal on federal lands and dig it up faster than you can say 'Run Forrest Run!'

25 Percent More? That's a Lotta Shrimp!

Mr. Wright wants to boost electricity by 25%. That's like Bubba wanting 25% more shrimp on the boat – a whole lotta shrimpin'! He figures coal is reliable affordable and secure. Just like my pal Bubba coal's always there when you need it I guess.

Emergency Power: Just in Case

Trump told some folks in Switzerland that he'd use 'emergency powers' to build power plants quick like. He said they can burn whatever fuel they want even coal as a backup. It's like Jenny always having a spare guitar string just in case she needed to play for folks you know? Always good to be prepared.

Coal's Got Competition But It's Still in the Race

Turns out coal ain't as popular as it used to be. Back in 2001 it made half our electricity but now it's more like a sixth. This natural gas stuff is takin' over. It's like when I ran against them fellas on the football team – they were faster but I just kept runnin'. Coal's gotta keep runnin' too!

But Coal ain't Always So Clean...

Now I ain't no scientist neither but they say coal makes more of them carbon dioxide things than gas does. It's kinda like Jenny tellin' me about all the troubles in the world – sometimes things ain't so simple. This story ain't over yet folks. Stay tuned like watchin' a ping pong match – you never know where it's gonna bounce next!
