If Trump decides to renew his promises/lies to save the coal industry remember this. Since Trump was inaugurated, 145 coal-burning units at 75 power plants were idled, eliminating 15 percent of the nation’s coal-generated capacity, enough to power about 30 million homes. That is the fastest decline in coal-fuel capacity in any single presidential term, far greater than the rate during either of President Obama’s terms. An additional 73 power plants have announced their intention to close additional coal-burning units this decade, according to a tally by the Sierra Club. 5300 jobs lost.
