The Department of Energy reestablished the National Coal Council (NCC) under President Donald Trump in June 2025.
The reinstatement of the NCC follows Trump’s campaign promise of bringing back coal power to the U.S., and institutes the following key directives:
- Designating coal as a “mineral” under Executive Order 14241 (enabling coal projects to qualify for streamlined permitting and financial incentives) and considering adding coal as a “critical mineral”
- Evaluating and enabling coal mining on federal lands
- Extending the life of coal-fueled infrastructure
- Providing broad support for coal, including by removing regulatory and policy barriers to coal production and use; facilitating coal exports; streamlining environmental review of coal projects; and advancing commercial coal technologies
While many do not understand the importance of coal in America’s energy production, the growth in energy demands has risen significantly — so much so that we cannot rely on “renewable energies” as our main source of reliable fuel.
NCC members will reportedly be chosen “to assure a well-balanced representation from all sections of the country, all segments of the coal industry including large and small companies, and coal consumers; coal transportation providers, technology suppliers, organizations engaged in environmental remediation related to coal; coal mining and coal user host communities; and service providers and regional development experts,” the National Law Review reported.
