Shot/Chaser: Trump Guts Cheaper Clean Energy, Which Produces More Energy Than Coal

Washington, D.C. – While Trump bails out the coal industry, clean energy is generating more energy than coal worldwide for the first time in history. Trump’s petty vendetta against clean energy is hiking utility bills across the country because he is targeting the cheapest, cleanest sources of energy, which are also the quickest to bring online to meet rapidly growing demand. Meanwhile, Trump’s plan to prop up coal could cost consumers between $3-6 billion a year, while putting workers’ health and safety at risk. Coal pollutes the air, threatening Americans’ health and lives.
