Trump’s DOE may soon force more coal plants to stay open (www.canarymedia.com)

Colorado coal plants are likely to face DOE orders to keep running past planned closure dates, even as the costs of keeping an old Michigan plant open pile up.

These are older power plants slated for retirement. They kick out a fair bit of local pollution, which means this is going to kill a lot of people in the immediate future, not to mention the long-term reduction in the planet's capacity to support human life.
