Make America Healthy Again Warns Trump: Coal-Powered AI Equals Lung Cancer, Not Progress
KEY POINTS
- •MAHA leaders, including Moms Across America’s Zen Honeycutt and RFK Jr. adviser Charles Eisenstein, penned a June 2026 letter to Trump.
- •The letter urges ending coal’s use in AI data centers, highlighting mercury, soot, and toxic coal ash dangers.
- •Since April 2025, Trump’s administration has funded coal with $625 million to meet data center power demands.
In the latest episode of 'How to Cook the Planet,' Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) superfans — including Moms Across America’s Zen Honeycutt and philosopher-extraordinaire Charles Eisenstein (aka RFK Jr.'s speechwriter) — dropped a joint letter in June 2026 begging President Trump and his coal cheerleaders Lee Zeldin, Chris Wright, and Brooke Rollins to stop superhero-coal-powering AI data centers. Since April 2025, Trump has been on a crusade to revive America’s 'beautiful clean coal' with a $625 million donation to keep those data centers puffing mercury and heavy metals like it’s 1955. MAHA insists on fancy alternatives like solar and geothermal, pleading: 'Let kids have clean lungs, not coal ash souvenirs.'
