flag Colorado and environmental groups sue to block Trump's emergency order keeping Craig Station coal plant open past 2025, citing lack of true energy emergency.

flag Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and environmental groups have sued to block a Trump administration emergency order keeping the Craig Station Unit 1 coal plant open beyond its 2025 closure date, arguing the Energy Department failed to prove an actual energy emergency. flag The order, issued under the Federal Power Act, cited risks to public safety and power shortages, but critics say it undermines Colorado’s legally mandated shift to renewable energy and imposes unnecessary costs on rural consumers. flag The plant’s co-owners, including Tri-State Generation and Transmission, had already planned its shutdown and stated it was offline due to mechanical failure. flag Similar emergency actions have been taken at other fossil fuel plants in Michigan, Washington, and Pennsylvania.
