The Trump administration has ordered the J.H. Campbell Coal Plant in Michigan to remain operational for an additional 90 days, delaying its shutdown despite significant costs and environmental concerns. This decision was made under a federal energy emergency directive issued by the Department of Energy. Local residents and environmental groups have expressed outrage, staging protests and questioning the rationale behind prolonging the use of the aging and polluting facility. Critics warn that the extended operation will lead to higher energy bills for consumers not just in Michigan, but in neighboring states as well. The ongoing situation has sparked a public outcry and a call for a more sustainable energy policy.
