Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Keeping the Lights On: The Craig Station Saga, How Federal Intervention, How a Single Coal Plant Became a National Flashpoint provides an in-depth exploration of one of the most controversial decisions in modern U.S. energy policy. On December 31, 2025, the Trump administration issued an emergency order to keep Craig Station Unit 1 in Colorado operational beyond its planned retirement, citing concerns over grid reliability. This seemingly local decision triggered nationwide debates over federal authority, state sovereignty, economic cost, environmental impact, and public health.This book chronicles the full story of Craig Station, examining the political, economic, and regulatory forces behind the emergency order. Through ten detailed chapters, readers gain insight into the immediate operational and financial consequences for utilities and ratepayers, the broader environmental and health implications, and the legal and political battles that followed. It situates Craig Station within a broader pattern of federal interventions in aging coal and fossil fuel infrastructure, highlighting the tension between short-term reliability and long-term sustainability.Combining meticulous reporting, expert analysis, and a comprehensive narrative, The Coal That Refused to Retire is essential reading for policymakers, energy professionals, environmental advocates, and anyone interested in the future of American energy. The book not only tells the story of a single plant but also raises critical questions about the balance between politics, economics, and the environment in shaping the nation's energy landscape.
