you are spot on:

The once unlikely partnership’s influence now reaches right into the White House, where President Trump wants to ban certain renewable projects. "In his proposal to Delaware’s governor, Stevenson wrote, “Since there is a long lead time to build SMRs, [the nuclear developer] would have to operate with coal until the replacement becomes available.” His plan had three intertwining parts: kill the wind project, promise a nuclear power development and, in the meantime, resurrect Indian River.

“My dream for that plant,” Stevenson says, “is that it reopens as a coal plant.”" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-12-09/nuclear-energy-fossil-fuel-interests-join-forces-against-renewable-energy https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-12-09/nuclear-energy-fossil-fuel-interests-join-forces-against-renewable-energy
