Entergy Arkansas coal plant shutdowns put on hold

A federal court case has stalled plans by Entergy Arkansas to shutdown two of its coal-fired power plants. While Entergy says it planned to move ahead with the closures of the plants in Newark  and Redfield, National Public Radio reports that Wyoming spent political “dark money” to derail the plans.

Arkansas Business reports that the group called Arkansas Affordable Energy Coalition, one created by a Wyoming nonprofit with the intention of keeping Wyoming coal flowing to Arkansas, filed a lawsuit to stop the shutdowns.
