"The Obama administration and leading Democrats, in an effort to win

carbon emissions. "

Sounds like political BS to me.
"Change" would be an energy task force quickly coming up with
legislation to help fund nukes NOW, without regard to climate change
legislation. Energy policy is energy policy, and everybody already
knows that nukes are "climate-friendly."
Doubt it would meet much resistance in Congress beyond the nominal
anti-nuke greenies.
Instead, it's classic DC bet-hedging, finagling and stalling.
And nothing is happening. Just talk. Just talk.
Nothing will happen until car gas hits 5 bucks a gallon.
Money talks, bull**** walks.
Hey, what does that mean anyway? Never saw bull**** really walk.
It can creep along a bit when still warm though.

I think someone told them that the smart folks aren't going to believe
their bull**** unless they talk serious action. Nuclear power is
serious action. But, we'll see if it's more than just talk so they'll
get taken seriously.

If Al Gore invests in nuclear power, then I'll believe they're
serious.
