Trump's coal bailout moves to the back burner

President Trump’s plan to save uneconomic coal and nuclear plants is showing signs of being relegated to a backburner priority, especially in the wake of conservative, free-market groups lashing back against it, say industry sources.

“Last I heard this week the bailout push is on the backburner,” Devin Hartman, the former head of electricity policy at the free-market R-Street Institute, told the Washington Examiner. “The [White House] has pumped the breaks on it as conservative groups have come to strongly oppose it.”
