A court decision has gone against the Trump administration. The ruling found that the Energy Department overstepped its bounds. This happened when the department intervened to keep a coal-fired power plant operating beyond its planned shutdown.

The plant in question is 64 years old. It was initially set to retire, but the Energy Department took action to keep it open. Certain groups and states challenged this decision in court.

The court ultimately sided with the challengers, stating that there was no legitimate emergency to justify the department's actions. Further information about the case and ruling is available.
