The rules don’t matter at this point in the governance cycle, attempts to be clever will be ignored by the federal government. Start tearing up the rails used for delivery of coal to these plants, and it solves the problem of illegal DOE must run orders for coal generators that have reached retirement and have received grid operator approval to shutdown. No coal supply, no way to satisfy an illegal order.
Be prepared to switch gears and approach an adversary at their level. Legality when the law matters, direct action when the law doesn’t matter.

If you have public support, laws become lesser concerns. “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law" cuts both ways. These generators are not needed as described by their owners and the grid operators of the grids they operate on, and are costing rate payers hundreds of millions of dollars to keep running collectively. Who is the victim by forcing them offline?
