New Nuclear Power Seen as Winner in Obama’s Clean Power Plan
Bloomberg Business 8/3/2015

The Obama administration gave the struggling U.S. nuclear industry a glimmer of hope this week by allowing new reactors to count more toward meeting federal emissions limits.

States can take more credit for carbon-free electricity to be generated by nuclear power plants under construction as they work to comply with emission-reduction targets set in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan released Monday. Cuts from existing reactors won’t count, casting the fate of units at risk of premature retirement in doubt...

I think I understand your ...uh... confusion on the issue- You support a pro nuclear power President but want to paint the R's as the enemies because, well, they're R's. Even though there really isn't a whole lot of difference in Nuclear policy. It would frustrate and confuse me too.

So you're a near-militant hydrogen proponent,

Yeah, I force E&E group members to click on hydrogen articles

a nuclear fan,

You're assuming facts not in evidence. But this isn't exactly new for you, is it. Just for the record (I don't really care what you think I support or don't support) I think building anything that requires future generations to baby sit the waste is nothing short of criminal behavior and despise nuclear energy.
There *are* a few nuclear supporters here though, as you well know. The difference b/w you and I is that I don't go and piss all over nuclear energy threads.

and a Chris Christie fan?

Now your little ridicule train has jumped the tracks. A Christie fan? How in the world did you "imagine" that? I wouldn't vote for that obese jackass if someone held a gun to my head.

That sounds like a toxic mix to me...

Of course it does...
