The search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, is entering its 12th day.

Coal is back in the spotlight. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the military to purchase electricity generated from coal-fired power plants. The White House says coal-fired electricity is being prioritized to enhance grid reliability, prevent blackouts, strengthen on-site fuel security, and support defense and intelligence operations.

Trump also ordered the Energy Department to fund $175 million in upgrades for operations in Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.
