Trump Delivers Another Win For Wyoming Coal Miners

Wyoming's waning coal mining operations are getting yet another boost from the Trump administration.

The Department of the Interior just approved a mining plan modification to open up around 14.5 million tons of federally owned coal at the Antelope Mine in northeast Wyoming.

For several years, and especially through the Biden administration, federal regulations have been strangling the life out of coal mining jobs. Layoffs have been common.

The goal is to open up the free market and strengthen America's power grid with reliable and affordable domestic energy.

From unleashing domestic production to cutting outdated regulations, Interior is helping lower costs and fuel prosperity.

In just the first five months of this administration, the United States has launched an energy renaissance, making life more affordable for every American.

At the same time, the department is working on reopening petroleum and natural gas drilling across the nation by easing regulations from the Biden administration.
