President Donald Trump has promised to bring back coal jobs, to roll back requirements for cleaner power to “help” business, and to drain the swamp. These actions won’t save coal or help business.

I’m heartened by the determination of so many companies, states, cities, and communities to continue down the path to the clean energy future we need.
