President Donald Trump followed through on his pledge to boost the nation’s declining $28 billion coal-mining industry this week, signing four executive orders designed to keep coal-fired power plants operating and to encourage more mining to fuel accelerating electricity demand.

They enabled the four coal-related orders issued Tuesday, which grant regulatory relief to 47 companies operating 66 power plants, “making them available for coal production almost in the immediate future,” Trump said.
