President Trump is reportedly considering a plan to prolong the use of struggling coal and nuclear plants through an emergency use of federal power.

According to a draft memo obtained by Bloomberg News, the Department of Energy, through an act of emergency authority, may order grid operators to buy electricity from coal and nuclear plants that are at risk of retiring due to increased us of cheaper natural gas and renewable electricity.
