Impressive List of Supporters Ask Dr. John Holdren To Prioritize Nuclear Power (followup)

This is a followup to my earlier post on the Shanahan letter to John Holdren. The good news is that Dr. Holdren has actually replied by two-page letter. The bad news is the letter is 97% redirection and finesse. There is no serious commitment yet from the White House.

It’s hard to see how serious White House leadership is politically possible given Obama’s left political base and more importantly the base behind the Democratic congressional majority. The US voter majority is favorable on expanding nuclear power, but the vast majority of that majority is on the other side of the aisle and probably will not vote a Democratic ticket even it they reverse their policy.
