FULL REMARKS: President Trump signs energy order

U.S. President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Tuesday that aim to boost coal production in his latest action. Coal-burning plants generate less than 20% of U.S. electricity, a drop from 50% in 2000, according to the Energy Information Administration, as fracking and other drilling techniques have hiked production of natural gas. Growth in solar and wind power has also cut coal use.
