As Newsmax author Mark Vargas argues Trump energy policy is grounded in reality, not ideology, Frontieras emerges as a real-world example of next-generation coal utilization taking shape in Appalachia
In a recent Newsmax column titled “Trump’s Clean Coal Revival Proves Elites Were Wrong,” author Mark Vargas argues that America’s energy future is being reshaped not by climate ideology or global mandates, but by pragmatic innovation rooted in domestic resources and industrial strength. Vargas points to advanced coal utilization as a central pillar of that shift, highlighting how next-generation technologies are restoring energy security, creating high-wage jobs, and reviving communities long dismissed by policymakers.
That argument is now taking tangible form in West Virginia, where Frontieras North America has closed on a 183-acre riverfront site in Mason County for its flagship $850 million FASForm(TM) facility. The project will mark the first commercial-scale deployment of Frontieras’ patented zero-waste coal reformation process, transforming coal into fuels, fertilizers, and industrial carbon products while generating more than 2,000 construction jobs and over 200 permanent positions across the region.
Vargas specifically cited Frontieras North America as an example of how coal is evolving rather than disappearing, noting that advanced processing allows coal to be utilized as a hydrocarbon resource rather than simply burned. Supported by state leadership and aligned with West Virginia’s long-term energy strategy, the Mason County facility underscores how innovation-driven coal projects can deliver cleaner industrial outputs, strengthen domestic supply chains, and anchor long-term economic growth across Appalachia.
