The power plant had been winding down for years and was scheduled to close by Dec. 31 until the Energy Department ordered that it stay open. Coal piles that once filled acres had dwindled.

Yeah this site doesn’t have the coal to burn and their whole plan was to convert to natural gas. Which wasn’t great, but now they can’t shut down to convert so they can keep producing energy, and they can’t produce energy by staying open to burn coal.

Efektiv polis.
