Trump order forces Indiana utility to keep uneconomical coal plant open

President Trump's order directing utilities to keep coal plants open will lead NIPSCO, Northern Indiana's utility, to keep charging customers to operate an old plant even though it is no longer economical. Critics, including Indiana residents, say the move will raise power bills across the utility's monopoly service area and force Hoosiers to pay for a plant that would otherwise close.
Why now: A federal order keeping uneconomical coal plants running is expected to raise electricity bills in Northern Indiana.

- Trump's order to keep coal plants open will cause NIPSCO to collect the money to keep an old plant open, despite it being uneconomical, from Hoosiers in its monopoly. Thanks Trump for raising our power bills even more in Northern Indiana. https://www.… · KrissyKat@hoosier.social · 4
