Federal court rejects Trump order keeping Michigan coal plant open
Last year, the Trump administration's Energy Department ordered a Michigan coal-fired power plant to remain open beyond when it was scheduled to close. A federal court has now rejected that order, ruling that the Energy Department did not have the legal authority to force the plant to stay open. The plant can now proceed with its retirement as originally planned.
