ACTIVITY
UpdatedEnergy extended operations at Michigan’s 64-year-old Campbell coal plant.
CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL Coal, all THREE Words. Press always steals the first Two!
The appeals court looked for evidence of an emergency.
It couldn't find one.
SIXTY-FOUR Years, then where's the Emergency?? They want to turn it OFF, there's your Emergency! Very strong Electricity Instincts, I like HAVING IT, most agree.
Energy then raised a second coal-plant emergency in Washington.
Keep that Plant RUNNING.
PUBLIC RECORD
A unanimous federal appeals panel ruled that the Energy Department exceeded its authority by forcing a Michigan coal plant to remain open, finding no genuine emergency. Hours later, the department issued another emergency order covering a Washington plant.
