Trump Admin Halts Coal Plant Closure: Grid Security or Market Distortion?
The Trump Administration has ordered a retiring Colorado coal plant to remain open under the guise of an energy emergency, despite state analyses suggesting its closure wouldn't impact grid reliability. This decision raises concerns about potential violations of state environmental laws, the financial burden on local ratepayers, and the continued use of emergency powers to prop up the declining coal industry. The move highlights the ongoing tension between federal energy policy and state-level environmental regulations.
