Do Donald Trump and Rick Perry really know what they’re doing, with coal/nuclear bailout? It seems not

U.S. nuclear, coal plant bailout plan still being ‘fleshed out’: Perry, Reuters Staff  BARILOCHE, Argentina (Reuters) 15 June 18 – A plan requested by U.S. President Donald Trump to prevent struggling nuclear and coal power plants from shutting is still being “fleshed out” by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the White House, Energy Secretary Rick Perry said on Friday.

Trump on June 1 directed Perry to take emergency steps to keep nuclear and coal plants running, in what would amount to an unprecedented intervention in U.S. power markets that has drawn backlash from environmentalists as well as oil, gas and renewable energy companies. ….He did not respond to questions on when the plan would be announced or its details. https://in.reuters.com/article/us-argentina-g20-energy-usa/u-s-nuclear-coal-plant-bailout-plan-still-being-fleshed-out-perry-idINKBN1JB23V?il=0
