Environmental Groups Challenge US Department of Energy's Decision to Extend Coal-Fired Power Plant Operation A coalition of environmental organizations has filed an appeal against the US Department of Energy's decision to extend the operation of Michigan's J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant by 90 days, citing that the facility is neither essential nor necessary to meet electricity demand during the summer or fall periods, and arguing that the decision prioritizes fossil fuels over cost savings for consumers.

6/12 Environmental groups are fighting back in federal court.

The Union of Concerned Scientists and Environmental Defence Fund sued the Trump administration.

They allege the report was 'hatched and carried out in secret' to manufacture climate denial.

Environmental Groups Challenge US Department of Energy's Directive to Keep Michigan's J.H. Campbell Coal Plant Operational Nine environmental groups, including the Sierra Club and Earthjustice, have petitioned a US Court of Appeals for review after the Department of Energy (DOE) issued an emergency order requiring Consumers Energy to operate its J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant in western Michigan until August 21. The directive, which contradicts an existing closure plan, aims to safeguard the Midwest's power supply during summer months, but environmental groups argue that sufficient resources are available and that the DOE fabricated an energy crisis to justify using emergency powers, raising concerns about the financial and health consequences for Michigan residents.

US Energy Secretary Advocates for Resurgence of Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil Amid Resistance from Environmental Groups U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently visited Morgantown to advocate for the Trump administration's energy policies, emphasizing a resurgence for coal, natural gas, and oil. This message, however, has been met with resistance from environmental and community groups who question the long-term benefits for West Virginia. Concerns center on the state’s environment, economic stability, and public health. During his visit, Secretary Wright toured the National Energy Technology Laboratory, a Department of Energy facility focused on fossil fuel-derived energy technologies, mineral research, and rare earth materials. He argued that existing subsidies for renewable energy sources and penalties against fossil fuels have created imbalances in the nation’s energy market. He believes the proposed budget will correct these distortions and stimulate American energy production. Wright minimized the progress of wind and solar energy, pointing to advancements in natural gas turbine efficiency, claiming it now produces nearly as much energy as the combined global output from wind, solar, and battery storage. Wright asserted the administration's focus is on delivering affordable energy, creating jobs, and bolstering American competitiveness, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. He positioned reforms addressing subsidies and penalties as crucial to achieving these goals. He also highlighted coal’s significant contribution to global electricity generation, emphasizing its reliability. Eric Engle, president of Mid-Ohio Valley Climate Action, voiced skepticism about Secretary Wright’s message, alleging it’s intended to perpetuate West Virginia’s role as a resource extraction state, sacrificing its environment and economy for the benefit of outside interests. Engle characterized the strategy as either complacency or deliberate exploitation, insisting the state has already borne a disproportionate burden.

Litigation is one of our tools. And often successful.

“Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists…said environmental groups were ‘under an awful lot of pressure to adopt nuclear power without reservation.’”
