WASHINGTON D.C February 12, 2026 – The White House has declared a major policy shift in U.S. energy strategy, stating that President Donald Trump has “ended the Radical Left’s war on coal” and is actively working to revive the industry to ensure reliable power generation across America.
In an official post from the @WhiteHouse account on February 12, 2026, the administration emphasized coal’s critical role in keeping “America’s lights ON.” ⚡️ Accompanied by a short video clip, the message highlighted the reversal of previous environmental restrictions and regulations that had targeted coal production and usage.
“President Trump has ENDED the Radical Left’s war on coal — and he’s bringing it back stronger than ever,” the post read.
The announcement aligns with long-standing promises from the Trump administration to prioritize domestic fossil fuel industries, including coal, as part of an “America First” energy independence agenda. Supporters argue that coal provides baseload power essential for grid stability, supports jobs in mining communities, and counters over-reliance on intermittent renewable sources.
The post quickly drew mixed reactions online. Many conservative users and Trump supporters praised the move as a return to practical energy realism and a rejection of what they call extreme green policies. Comments included expressions of gratitude for prioritizing affordable and reliable electricity, as well as calls for further investments in complementary energy sources like nuclear power.
Critics, however, expressed concerns over the environmental and health implications of expanded coal use, pointing to ongoing global trends toward cleaner energy alternatives and the declining competitiveness of coal in many markets.
The video attached to the post appears to reinforce the message of energy reliability and industrial strength, though specific details from the footage focus on thematic visuals supporting the coal revival narrative.
This development comes amid broader efforts by the administration to roll back certain environmental regulations from prior terms and boost traditional energy sectors. Further policy details, including potential executive actions or legislative proposals to support coal production, are expected in the coming weeks.
