Here in Michigan Trump is using “emergency” orders to keep a coal plant running that the electric company was going to retire over a year ago. The order can only last 90 days but they’ve just renewed it every time.
Thanks to this bullshit, rates are going up because it’s costing so much to keep the thing going we’re losing money on it.
