Donald Trump announced an amendment to the Clean Air Act to keep open aging coal-power plants. The Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule replaces Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan blocked by the Supreme Court in 2016. 600 coal-fired units at 300 plants that might have closed because of excess CO2 can now more gradually reduce carbon emissions.
