In partnership with other public interest groups, we are challenging the Department of Energy’s illegal emergency order forcing Washington’s last coal plant to operate past its planned retirement date. earthjustice.org/press/2026/p...

Public Interest Groups Challenge Trump Administration Order to Keep Washington’s Last Coal Plant Operating
DOE’s order disrupts a long-planned shutdown of a coal plant in Centralia, Washington, designed to provide state residents with cleaner air and affordable, reliable, clean energy

For 15 years, Washington has invested in a responsible transition for the Centralia coal plant. Keeping it open violates state law and public trust and puts an unfair burden on Washington utility customers to pay for a facility we have already paid to shut down. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/trum...
