From the transcript
So now I'd like to ask Secretary Burgum to say a few words, followed by Secretary Wright, Administrator Lee Zeldin, and then Governor Mark Gordon and whoever else wants to say a few words, including my new friend, my new governor friend. So, Doug, go ahead. Well, thank you, President Trump, with these announcements today and everything that your administration has accomplished so far since you've taken office. This administration has done more to save, protect and expand coal in our country than any administration perhaps ever. Clean, beautiful coal.

The administration announced a $700 million federal package, matched by $1.7 billion in private investment, that it says will support 14 coal plants and 42 mines, including two new plants in Alaska and West Virginia. Federal databases do not yet show finalized authorization for the new construction or the associated funding.
