Climate change-denying President Donald Trump received a pro-coal group’s recently created award on Wednesday as his administration prepares to further weaken regulations on greenhouse gases.
Trump, 79, held an event Wednesday at the White House with Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, during which he announced an executive order directing the Defense Department to buy electricity from coal-fired power plants.
Trump also awarded $175 million in federal funding to improve six coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Kentucky, according to an Energy Department press release.
