President Trump's order to keep coal plants open is forcing Indiana utility NIPSCO to continue operating an aging, uneconomical plant, with costs passed to customers. Residents in Northern Indiana say the mandate will raise their power bills, and critics are calling it a bailout of coal at consumers' expense.
Why now: A federal order overriding local utility economics is expected to raise electricity bills for Northern Indiana households.
