D.C. Circuit Court Rejects Trump Order to Keep Michigan Coal Plant Operating
Source Summary
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against a Trump administration order aimed at keeping the J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in Michigan operating beyond its scheduled retirement date. The decision may affect other similar orders issued to extend the operation of U.S. coal-fired power plants.
Why it matters
The ruling directly invalidates a Trump administration policy to extend coal plant operations and may set a precedent affecting other pending orders for similar coal plant extensions.
