Episode Description

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Taylor Morgan 

Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to delay closure of some coal-fired power plants and end the federal moratorium on coal leases. Coal remains a component of the U.S. energy portfolio and in Utah, the state derives 46% of its net electricity generation from coal. That is down from 75% in 2015. Brian Somers, President of the Utah Mining Association, joins the Adam and Taylor to discuss what this new executive order means for Utah.
