In an update on candidate Trump’s promise to renew the coal mining and coal-fired power industries, the latest information from President Trump’s Administration is, well, negative:

For more information, see this Mark Sumner post on The Daily Kos.
Addendum: WaPo has a different way of looking at the above:
I’m not sure how to reconcile that Coal at 23%.
