U.S. nuclear, coal plant bailout plan still being ‘fleshed out’: Perry

BARILOCHE, Argentina (Reuters) – 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 and the White House, Energy Secretary Rick Perry said on Friday.

“This is not just singularly an economic issue,” Perry told reporters at the G20 Energy Ministers’ meeting in Bariloche, Argentina, citing the national security risks of potential cyberattacks on pipelines. He did not respond to questions on when the plan would be announced or its details.
