From Juliette, Ga.: A massive coal plant will continue operating despite earlier plans for retirement. Georgia Power filings confirm the decision to keep the plant running. The facility is located near a small community and has been the subject of health and environmental concerns from neighboring families.

The plant has been in operation for decades and has produced large amounts of coal ash. Further details about the plant's operations and the concerns of local residents are available.

The decision to keep the plant operational is reportedly linked to growing demand for data centers in the area.
