First major MAHA fossil-fuel mobilization targets data-center coal
The letter, addressed to Trump, Kennedy and various other Cabinet officials and first obtained by The Associated Press, laments a 2025 executive order that aimed to boost coal to power data centers over pollution concerns. It asks the administration to consider renewable options including solar and geothermal energy.
At least two former staffers from Kennedy’s 2024 presidential campaign signed onto the letter, according to the AP.
The activists’ action marks the first major MAHA movement mobilization over fossil fuels and the latest in a series of rifts between the diverse coalition and the Trump administration over environmental policy.
