The Department of the Interior moved to repeal a Biden-era regulation on coal mining. The
2024 rule enacted under Biden added additional regulations on the coal industry and gave the federal government more power to conduct reviews on states for potential rule violations. Biden cracked down on the coal industry by enforcing stringent regulations on coal-fired power plants and blocking new federal leases on coal mining, though Trump has moved to boost the coal industry, arguing that the power source is vital for the grid.
