protection
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— A major U.S. coal min-
ing company is seeking
bankruptcy protection,
despite a flurry of regula-
tory breaks that its CEO
pushed for — and received
— from the Trump admin-
istration.
Ohio-based Murray
Energy filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy reorgani-
zation Tuesday, joining a
growing list of struggling
miners as utilities switch
away from coal to cheaper
and less-polluting renew-
able energy or natural gas.
The filing marks a sig-
nificant political failure for
Trump, who had sought to
end what he called a “war
on coal” by Democrats as
a key part of his campaign
and early presidency.
Murray Energy was the
country’s fourth largest
coal producer in 2018, ac-
counting for 6 percent of
total production, accord-
ing to the Energy Informa-
tion Administration.
