President Donald Trump declared a national energy emergency to boost fossil fuel power generation amid surging load demands on the grid via the 'Powering Up America' theme, including AI data centers, electrification of the economy, and re-shoring trends. The move by Trump underscores a massive policy shift from the Biden-Harris regime's 'green' policies that only acted as a 'throttle' on the economy, making US companies less competitive globally. Meanwhile, China ramped up cheap energy via an explosion in coal-fired power production.
"They can fuel it with anything they want, and they may have coal as a backup — good, clean coal," Trump said in a virtual appearance at Thursday's annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
