President Trump recently proposed cuts to the Clean Power Plan. The Obama-era plan aims to generate electricity with less coal and more renewable energy and slash carbon emissions from the nation's power plants by about one-third by 2030. Trump’s proposal was criticized by environmentalists but applauded in West Virginia, where coal mining jobs are vital to the economy. White House Correspondent Patsy Widakuswara reports.
