Court blocks Trump-era bid to keep Campbell coal plant running

A federal court ruled against the Energy Department’s nationwide order to keep Michigan’s Campbell coal plant open, saying the plan would cost hundreds of millions and was misaligned with retirement timelines. The plant will continue operating under a DOE extension through mid‑November while litigation proceeds; Consumers Energy is reviewing the ruling. Environmental groups hailed the decision as a victory against propping up aging, costly coal power.

Court curbs coal lifeline as DOE loses emergency-order bid
