AG Brown has filed a request for rehearing over the Department of Energy’s (DOE) illegal, clumsy emergency order forcing a decommissioned coal power plant back into production despite not having the staff, buyers or coal for such work.
“No presidential administration has abused its emergency powers more than this one, and we see it here as they try to force coal power into the homes of consumers who have moved on. We will take every step necessary to undo this unwanted and unworkable order.” – AG Brow
