Houston, TX, August 21, 2026 —
A health advocacy group, “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA), has called on former President Donald Trump to re-evaluate his support for using coal to power artificial intelligence data centers.
The activists voiced concerns that a reliance on coal for these burgeoning energy demands could exacerbate pollution and pose significant risks to public health, with a particular emphasis on the well-being of children.
MAHA is advocating for the adoption of renewable energy alternatives, such as solar and geothermal power, as more sustainable and healthier options to meet the substantial energy requirements of AI facilities.
The group’s message centers on the potential environmental and health consequences associated with fossil fuels, contrasting them with the benefits of cleaner energy sources.
