MAHA Activists Urge Trump Against Promoting Coal to Power Energy-Hungry AI Data Centers

Nearly 200 MAHA activists urge the administration to back renewable power for data centers and reject coal, citing pollution and community harms.

  • On Friday, nearly 200 activists in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement sent a letter to President Donald Trump criticizing his promotion of coal to power artificial intelligence data centers.
  • Trump has enthusiastically embraced what he calls "big, beautiful coal" to fuel data centers, framing them as essential for winning the AI race against China despite environmental concerns.
  • Prominent MAHA figures, including Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America and former campaign speechwriter Charles Eisenstein, signed the letter, citing frustration with the administration's deregulatory environmental agenda.
  • This criticism, emerging less than three months before midterm elections, poses a challenge for Republicans seeking to retain the voting bloc that helped Trump win two years ago.
  • The letter requests the administration require transparent reviews of power sourcing and consider renewable alternatives; the White House has not yet responded to requests for comment.
