It appears that the Climate Bill will not escape the Senate without confronting the future of domestic Nuclear power. Nuclear power’s inclusion in the Climate Bill is becoming a make or break issue for many Senators. During the first day of Senate hearings on the bill, Obama’s Nobel Prize winning Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, openly supported nuclear power. Chu provides some refreshing rhetoric for those of us who realize that nuclear power is the only viable option for CO2 free base load energy generation. Hopefully, Senators such as Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Tom Carper (D-Del) will be successful in convincing the senate to include key concessions for Nuclear power in the Climate Bill.
