Federal mandate to keep inefficient coal plants operational undermines climate action despite lack of actual operation. | The federal mandate to force coal plants to stay open is a negative action that undermines climate goals and energy transition, despite the fact that the plant in question is not currently operating. The mandate itself represents a misallocation of resources and policy effort toward a dying industry, conflicting with SDG 7 (clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action).
