Duke Energy, a wide-reaching utility company serving parts of the Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, is reportedly considering extending the life of its coal plants under a new Trump administration with power plant pollution rules under risk. 

Chief Financial Officer Brian Savoy told Bloomberg on Thursday that the utility company may adjust the pace at which it transitions to clean energy if President-elect Donald Trump walks back strict pollution rules issued by the Environmental Protection Agency this year.
