- MAHA movement leaders sent Trump a joint letter warning that "data centers should not become the justification for burning more coal," citing coal's public health impacts
- The appeal directly conflicts with Trump officials' stated support for using coal to help power AI infrastructure
- MAHA — a movement closely aligned with Trump's political base — is now publicly at odds with the administration's coal-and-AI energy agenda
Why it matters: MAHA-aligned figures, part of Trump's own political base, are publicly breaking with administration officials who back coal to power AI data centers — a rare intra-coalition split that directly contests the White House's AI infrastructure plans using health-based arguments.
