coal fired power plant

My younger self would be disappointed. It's not like I really expected flying cars by this point, but cleaner, cheaper energy did seem like an achievable goal.

A coal-fired power plant in west Michigan that was scheduled for shutdown almost a year ago continues to operate under a series of Trump administration emergency orders.

Consumers Energy originally planned to shut the West Michigan power plant down starting last year. But the Department of Energy has issued a series of orders forcing the plant to stay open.

Attorneys for the state of Michigan and environmental groups told a federal appeals court that the U.S. Energy Department falsely claimed an energy emergency.

Local governments in West Michigan are asking the EPA for a public hearing on Consumers Energy's plan to inject wastewater from its last coal-burning plant deep underground.

An order issued earlier this week is the fourth time the U.S. Energy Department has extended operations of Consumers Energy's J.H. Campbell power plant in Ottawa County.

Michigan U.S. Representative Debbie Dingell said the Trump administration’s policies are causing utility bills to rise, creating an affordability crisis for Michiganders.

Environmental and clean water advocates are raising concerns after the Environmental Protection Agency announced late on Christmas Eve it would delay tougher wastewater treatment standards for coal-fired power plants, including the J.H. Campbell plant in western Michigan.

Consumers Energy planned to shut down the J.H. Campbell coal power plant on Lake Michigan in May. Successive orders from the Trump administration have required the company to keep it running.
