MAHA activists urge Trump against promoting coal to power energy-hungry AI data centers
- Nearly 200 activists from the MAHA movement criticized President Trump’s promotion of coal for AI data centers in a letter.
- The letter, signed by former staffers from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign, expresses concerns over pollution from coal.
- Activists urged the administration to consider renewable energy options like solar and geothermal instead of coal.
- The letter highlights a rift between MAHA activists and the Trump administration over environmental policies.
- The White House responded by noting a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions during Trump's first term.
Nearly 200 activists in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement have criticized President Donald Trump’s promotion of coal to fuel artificial intelligence data centers. This criticism is articulated in a letter sent to Trump and various Cabinet officials, which expresses concerns over pollution associated with coal use.
The letter, signed by at least two former staffers from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 2024 presidential campaign, marks a significant mobilization of the MAHA movement regarding fossil fuels. Activists are urging the administration to explore renewable energy options, such as solar and geothermal, instead of relying on coal.
In response, a White House spokesperson highlighted that greenhouse gas emissions had dropped to a 30-year low during Trump’s first term. The ongoing tensions between MAHA activists and the Trump administration over environmental policies could impact Republican efforts to secure votes in the upcoming midterm elections.
MAHA活动人士呼吁特朗普停止推广煤炭为能源需求巨大的人工智能数据中心供电
近200名“让美国再次健康”运动的活动人士批评特朗普总统推广煤炭为人工智能数据中心供电。这一批评在一封寄给特朗普和各部门官员的信中表达，信中对煤炭使用带来的污染表示担忧。
这封信由肯尼迪2024年总统竞选团队的至少两名前工作人员签署，标志着MAHA运动在化石燃料问题上的重要动员。活动人士呼吁政府探索可再生能源选项，如太阳能和地热能，而不是依赖煤炭。
作为回应，白宫发言人强调，在特朗普第一任期内，温室气体排放量降至30年来的最低水平。MAHA活动人士与特朗普政府在环境政策上的持续紧张关系可能会影响共和党在即将到来的中期选举中争取选票的努力。
