'Economy crippling' and 'third grade' work: Conservatives pan Trump's move to save coal and nuclear
President Donald Trump has issued an order to keep failing coal and nuclear power plants open, potentially by using emergency powers. Conservative and libertarian think tanks panned the plan as "economy-crippling central planning" and the intellectual work of a "third grade" student. Some conservatives who study policy suggested the Trump administration is scrambling to fulfill his campaign promise to revive the coal industry.
