In some fairness, the Build Back Better program did include


quite a bit of money for nuclear.

One of my long-standing issues with the clean energy movement is that creating energy in cleaner ways is a science and technology problem, yet all the solutions offered were political. If zero emissions were REALLY the goal, we should have been building nuclear reactors like crazy as that didn't rely at all on as-yet-undeveloped technology. I can only conclude that zero emissions, in and of itself, isn't the goal and there are underlying political agendas.

But Build Back Better did actually include some nuclear investment. Not a lot, mind you, but some. So maybe we will see some actual movement toward clean energy generation and not just political agendas.
