Report summary
President Trump signed three Executive Orders (EOs) on 8 March 2025 aimed at revitalising the battered US coal industry. These orders focus on increasing domestic production, enhancing grid reliability, and challenging state-level environmental regulations on coal mining and generation. While the EOs seemingly offer potential support to a declining sector, their effectiveness remains uncertain due to a lack of details, market undercurrents and long-term industry trends.
