Sierra Club statement: Trump Administration Considers Forcing Taxpayers to Bail Out Coal and Nuclear Executives sc.org/2JneIQl
"This is an outrageous ploy to force American taxpayers to bail out coal and nuclear executives who have made bad decisions by investing in dirty and dangerous energy resources..." - @maryannehitt
"Trump will clearly try anything to help millionaire coal and nuclear executives, even demanding American families fork over big bucks to prop up their uneconomic, failing power plants."
“Every grid operator has unequivocally stated that there is no grid emergency, yet Trump is trying to invent one to help his rich friends."
"The Defense Production Act and Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act are meant for actual emergencies, and the court of law will make that clear in the weeks and months to come should Trump try this plan."
