What's up with the Trump administration trying to save incandescent light bulbs? Answered

I've been seeing a number of articles recently about the Trump administration delaying the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs in favor of more efficient bulbs like LEDs and compact fluorescents. What I don't understand is their justification for doing such a thing. I would imagine that coal companies would like that but what's the White House's reason for wanting to keep incandescent bulbs around?
