The Department of the Interior is renewing its focus on the coal industry and will prioritize coal as the cornerstone of the U.S.’ energy strategy.

“The Golden Age is here, and we are starting to ‘Mine, Baby, Mine’ for clean American coal,” said Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

The department plans to expand access to coal reserves and streamline permitting processes to remove “long-standing regulatory barriers that have undermined American coal production.”
