NewzOn Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled against a Trump administration order that had kept the J.H. Campbell Generating Plant in Michigan operating past its planned retirement date. The federal court declared that the Energy Department exceeded its legal authority by forcing the coal-fired power plant to remain open.
The decision represents a legal defeat for the Trump administration's efforts to keep certain fossil-fuel facilities running. The appeals court determined that the federal government overstepped its regulatory bounds in intervening to prevent the scheduled retirement of the Michigan generating plant.
