Here in Michigan Trump is using "emergency" orders to keep a coal plant running that the electric company was going to retire over a year ago. The order can only last 90 days but they've just renewed it every time.

Thanks to this bullshit, rates are going up because it's costing so much to keep the thing going we're losing money on it. Consumers Energy doesn't even want to be operating it, they're trying to get it shut down but hur dur coal good can't allow that. And it's not the only one affected by this crap.

China used them and it is a funny situation on how there were complications and how they handled them and handled the further complications by their solutions. In the end they all lived happily ever after though in the funniest way possible.
