特朗普将援引《国防生产法案》支持煤炭行业
该计划旨在升级燃煤电厂、建设煤炭出口码头，并为新建设施匹配企业资金
在气候担忧背景下，生产商转向天然气和可再生能源，煤炭使用量持续下降
华盛顿，6月3日路透电 — 据一位白宫官员透露，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普计划动用冷战时期的国防权力，向煤炭相关设施提供近7亿美元支持。
该官员表示，特朗普最快可于周四宣布援引这项1950年出台的、赋予总统针对国家安全相关行业广泛权限的《国防生产法案》，用于升级13座以上燃煤电厂、建设一座大型西海岸煤炭出口码头，并为新建电厂项目匹配企业资金。

这位官员为了不提前公布总统的声明而要求匿名，并提醒相关细节仍有可能变动。
特朗普政府将能源问题视为生死攸关的大事，一方面着眼于国内对高能耗人工智能数据中心的供电需求，另一方面试图打压持有大量化石燃料储备的外国对手。不过美国国内煤炭使用量持续下滑。据美国能源信息署数据，煤炭曾占美国发电量的一半以上，但近年来这一比例已降至五分之一以下。
电力生产商已大规模转向更廉价的天然气和可再生能源，因担忧化石燃料对全球变暖的影响，同时也对脆弱的全球供应链愈发警惕。
在7亿美元资金中，超过一半将用于13座燃煤电厂的升级改造，1.85亿美元将用于为阿拉斯加、马里兰州和西弗吉尼亚州的煤炭设施匹配企业资金，7500万美元将用于支持长期规划的北加州西大门煤炭出口码头项目。
彭博新闻社率先报道了此项煤炭行业扶持计划。

Summary
Trump to invoke Defense Production Act for coal industry support
Plan aims to upgrade coal plants, build export terminal, match corporate funds for new facilities
Coal use declining as producers shift to natural gas, renewables amid climate concerns
WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to use Cold War-era national defense powers to send nearly $700 million to support coal facilities, according to a White House official.
Trump could announce as soon as Thursday that he will invoke the Defense Production Act, the 1950 law granting presidents wide authority over national security-related industries, to upgrade more than a dozen coal power plants, build a massive West Coast coal export terminal and match corporate funds to build new power plants, the official said.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to not preempt the president’s announcement, and cautioned that the details could still change.
The Trump administration has framed energy issues in existential terms as it eyes the domestic need to sustain power-hungry artificial-intelligence data centers and aims to marginalize foreign adversaries that hold large fossil fuel reserves. Coal, though, has faced steady declines in U.S. usage. It once accounted for more than half of U.S. electricity generation, but fell to less than one-fifth in recent years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Power producers have largely switched to cheaper natural gas and renewable sources, wary of fossil fuel’s effect on the planet’s warming climate and increasing reliance on brittle global supply chains.
Of the $700 million, more than half will fund 13 coal plant upgrades, $185 million will match corporate funds for coal facilities in Alaska, Maryland and West Virginia, and $75 million will support the long-proposed West Gateway export terminal in Northern California.
Bloomberg first reported the planned coal support.
