Consumer Energy's B.C. Cobb Plant in Muskegon is seen on Dec. 13, 2010. Officials with Consumers Energy said they're committed to helping find a new use for the site of a coal-fired power plant in western Michigan that's scheduled to close in two years. The Muskegon Chronicle reports that the unit of Jackson-based CMS Energy Corp. offered updates Tuesday April 22, 2014 on plans to decommission the B.C. Cobb plant in Muskegon. The utility says it will work to maintain federal dredging of the Muskegon Lake port. (AP Photo/

Tiny nuclear power plants that could be far cheaper to build than their behemoth counterparts could herald the future for an energy industry that has come under scrutiny since the Fukushima disaster. In the United States, Magwood hopes the modular reactors will replace outdated coal plants. (AP Photo/Thibault Camus)
