Excerpt from The White House:
"Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order reinvigorating America’s beautiful clean coal industry. The Executive Order:
Directs the Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council to designate coal as a “mineral” under Executive Order 14241, entitling coal to all of the benefits of that prior Order.
Directs relevant agencies to identify coal resources on Federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining, and prioritize coal leasing on those lands.
Directs the Secretary of the Interior to acknowledge the end of the Jewell Moratorium, which paused coal leasing on Federal lands.
Requires agencies to rescind any agency policies that seek to transition the Nation away from coal production or otherwise establish preferences against coal as a generation resource.
Directs CEQ to assist agencies in adopting coal-related categorical exclusions under NEPA.
Seeks to promote coal and coal technology exports, facilitate international offtake agreements for U.S. coal, and accelerate development of coal technologies.
Calls for the Secretary of Energy to determine whether coal used in the production of steel meets the definition of a “critical material” and “critical mineral” under the Energy Act of 2020, and if so, add it to the relevant lists.
Pushes for using coal to power new artificial intelligence (AI) data.
INCREASING DOMESTIC ENERGY PRODUCTION: President Trump believes that coal is essential to our national and economic security."

From Atlas Shrugged: "But you expect industrial giants — who plan in terms of decades, invest in terms of generations, and undertake ninety-nine-year contracts — to continue to function and produce, not knowing what random caprice in the skull of what random official will descend upon them at what moment to demolish the whole of their effort."
Executive orders do not allow people like me to plan in terms of decades.
Are 1,000% Unique in human history.
We went from outhouses, almost no indoor plumbing, and undrinkable/unsafe water where EVERY parent lost at least one child (one is none was a common phrase, my grandma had 12).
To a world where almost no children died. Antibiotics saved most lives, indoor plumbing, and indoor electricity, the automobile, and so much more.
We have been fortunate to be born in such historic times, where the Huns did not come and wipe us out for our women and our food.
So, to be clear. I think Rand went a step too far with her statements, because prior to this time, only the Feudal lords could have planned generationally, much less take advantage of a 99yr lease (2.5 generations?)
Yet, computer chip makers seem to thrive in an environment where the rate of change of tech is simply mind blowing. And the investment scale is even higher. The first silicon wafer cost BILLIONS. Every one after that is PENNIES.
This EO should never have been needed if the fedgov had obeyed the US Constitution and stopped meddling in the free market
(to increase the power and wealth of parasites in D.C. and their corrupt traitors elsewhere.)
Gaia, our Earth Mother and Goddess Of Spiritual Science, shalt become displeased.
She shalt become angry and punish us by destroying her planetary child with our own pollution.
What will become of our Mommy then? Save for her fading away as a forgotten memory?
How can we all be so mean? For shame!
A willing sacrifice is required to save the planet. O Chosen One, a volunteer is needed to jump into an active volcano.
You shalt be forever honored as The Most Holy Him Who Made An Ash Of Himself!
That way her already being a Greek deity, she could also "identify" with being Zeus, king of the Olympians and rapist of many prominent mythological virgins.
As a lesbian menace renamed Gary Zeus, she/he/it could now punish the world with thunderbolts shortly after impregnating The View.
Yeah, I generally watch half of Gutfeld~~who often picks on The View~~before turning off my TV for the night.
