Nearly 200 Make America Healthy Again activists urged President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Aug. 21 not to use artificial-intelligence data centers as a justification for keeping more coal plants online. The letter cites coal ash, particulate pollution and respiratory risks for children living near coal facilities, while saying the movement supports U.S. leadership in AI but favors solar, geothermal energy, storage and efficiency where possible. It follows a July 23, 2025 executive order that accelerated permitting for data-center infrastructure and designated coal-power equipment as eligible to meet electricity demand from AI buildouts, reportedly keeping at least five to eight coal plants operational for that purpose. The administration has also supported coal through an April 2025 executive order and hundreds of millions of dollars in Energy Department funding. The letter calls for comprehensive environmental reviews of data-center siting and energy sourcing and asks MAHA leaders, farmers, physicians and others to help develop health-first standards for AI infrastructure. Signers include Moms Across America founder Zen Honeycutt, Charles Eisenstein, Global Wellness Forum executive director Aimee Villella McBride and United We Eat founder and CEO David Murphy. The letter was also copied to Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. The challenge puts Kennedy at the intersection of the administration's health agenda and its support for AI-related power expansion, while increasing pressure for solar, geothermal and next-generation nuclear alternatives.
