唐纳德·特朗普总统周三签署行政命令，指示国防部（DOW）直接与燃煤电厂协商新的长期购电协议，称此举将确保”更可靠的电力和更强大、更具韧性的电网电力”。
“这就是为什么我也很高兴地宣布，稍后我将签署一项行政命令，指示国防部直接与燃煤电厂协商新的购电协议，确保我们拥有更可靠的电力和更强大、更具韧性的电网电力，”特朗普表示。
“而且我们现在将通过军方购买大量煤炭，这将比我们多年来使用的方法更便宜，实际上也更有效。”
[该行政命令]名为”利用美国美丽清洁的煤炭发电船队加强美国国防”，其中指出：”美国必须确保我们的电网……保持韧性和可靠性，不依赖间歇性能源”，并将电网称为”我们国防以及经济稳定的基础”。

该命令还补充道：”美国的政策是，煤炭对我们的国家和经济安全至关重要。”
在”与联邦机构的购电协议”部分，该命令规定，战争部长”在与能源部长协调后，应通过批准长期购电协议……从燃煤发电设施采购电力，以服务于国防部设施或其他关键任务设施。”
特朗普在白宫发表讲话，身边簇拥着内阁成员、煤炭工人和共和党议员，他将煤炭描述为国防和工业生产的关键。

“煤炭对我们的国家安全也至关重要，”他说，”从钢铁生产到造船和人工智能，煤炭都至关重要。”
他还以冬季风暴为例，证明煤炭的可靠性。
“超过2亿美国人在35个州受到风暴影响，大多数人能够洗热水澡的唯一原因是，他们使用的是我们拥有的最可靠、最可靠、真正可靠的能源提供的电力，”特朗普说，”而这就是清洁、美丽的煤炭。”
特朗普将自己的做法与前政府进行了对比。
“在本届政府上任第一天，我就结束了对煤炭的战争，”特朗普说，”我们终止了绿色新骗局，退出了不公平、片面的《巴黎气候协定》。”
他还批评了风能。

“我不太喜欢那些疯狂的风车，它们都是中国制造的，”特朗普说，”你知道，它们是中国制造的，但中国自己不用。”
特朗普称田纳西河谷管理局正在”采取行动拯救两座主要的燃煤电厂”，提及坎伯兰化石电厂和金斯敦化石电厂。
“这两座电厂原本计划被关停，”特朗普说，”但通过让它们继续运营，我们将拯救450多个就业岗位。”
特朗普表示，他正在”指示能源部向几个州的燃煤电厂发放资金”。
“此外，我指示能源部向西弗吉尼亚州、俄亥俄州、北卡罗来纳州和肯塔基州的燃煤电厂发放资金，以维持这些电厂的运转并保持其开放。”
关于许可问题，特朗普称：”在特朗普执政的一年内，我们已经批准了70多个非常大、非常强大的矿山开采许可，这些矿山将在未来许多年内为我们服务。”
特朗普称，在他任内，煤炭产量和发电量均有所增长。
“自我上任以来，煤炭产量每月增加了近400万吨，而在此之前的几十年里一直下降，”他说，”在我执政的第一年，煤炭发电量增长了近15%。”
活动稍后，皮博迪能源公司首席执行官吉姆·格雷奇向特朗普颁发了奖项。
“先生，只是为了表示我们的感谢，”格雷奇说，”奖杯上写着’无可争议的美丽清洁煤炭冠军’。”
特朗普最后回到他所说的美国能源主导地位这一主题。

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday directing the Department of War (DOW) to work directly with coal-fired power plants on new long-term power purchasing agreements, arguing the move would ensure “more reliable power and stronger and more resilient grid power.”
“That’s why I’m also pleased to announce that, in just a moment, I will sign an executive order that directs the Department of War to work directly with coal plants on the new power purchasing agreements, ensuring that we have more reliable power and stronger and more resilient grid power,” Trump said.
“And we’re going to be buying a lot of coal through the military now, and it’s going to be less expensive and actually much more effective than what we have been using for many, many years.”
[The executive order], “Strengthening United States National Defense with America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Power Generation Fleet,” states, “The United States must ensure that our electric grid … remains resilient and reliable, and not reliant on intermittent energy sources,” calling the grid “the foundation of our national defense as well as our economic stability.”

It adds, “It is the policy of the United States that coal is essential to our national and economic security.”
Under a section titled “Power Purchase Agreements with Federal Installations,” the order states that the Secretary of War, “in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, shall seek to procure power from the United States coal generation fleet by approving long-term Power Purchase Agreements … with coal-fired energy production facilities to serve DOW installations or other mission-critical facilities.”
Speaking at the White House and flanked by members of his Cabinet, coal workers and GOP lawmakers, Trump framed coal as vital to defense and industrial production.

“Coal is also critical to our national security,” he said. “Vital to everything from steel production to shipbuilding and artificial intelligence.”
He also pointed to winter storms as evidence of coal’s reliability.
“More than 200 million Americans across 35 states were impacted by the storm, and the only reason most were able to take a hot shower was thanks to the power provided by the most reliable, dependable of, and really dependable form of energy that we have,” Trump said. “And that’s clean, beautiful coal.”
Trump contrasted his approach with the prior administration.
“On day one of this administration, I ended the war on coal,” Trump said. “We terminated the green new scam, and we withdrew from the unfair, one-sided Paris climate accord.”
He also criticized wind energy.

“I’m not a big fan of those crazy windmills that are all made in China,” Trump said. “You know, they’re made in China but not used by China.”
Trump said the Tennessee Valley Authority was “taking action to save two major coal plants,” mentioning the Cumberland Fossil Plant and the Kingston Fossil Plant.
“These two plants were slated for termination,” Trump said, “but we’re going to save over 450 jobs by keeping them going and going strong.”
Trump said he was “directing the Department of Energy to issue funds” to coal plants in several states.
“In addition, I’m directing the Department of Energy to issue funds to coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Kentucky to keep them online and keep those plants open,” Trump said.
On permitting, Trump said, “In one year of Trump, we’ve already approved over 70 permits for very big, very powerful mines that are going to be with us for many, many years to come.”
Trump said coal production and generation had increased during his tenure.
“Since I took office, coal production is up by nearly 4 million tons a month after falling for decades,” he said. “Coal power generation is up by nearly 15% in my first year.”
Later in the event, Peabody Energy CEO Jim Grech presented Trump with an award.
“Sir. Just to show our appreciation,” Grech said. “The trophy says the undisputed champion of beautiful, clean coal.”
Trump closed by returning to what he described as American energy dominance.

“America is now the No. 1 energy producer in the world,” he said. “We are by far No. 1.”
