Obama announces two nukes

-snip-

The White House is making no bones about the fact that they see this announcement as advancing two agenda items: clean energy and efforts at bipartisanship.

“In the State of the Union and at the House Republican Conference retreat, the President made clear that he is willing to work with Republicans towards a comprehensive solution to our energy challenges,” a White House official said. “By announcing plans today to break ground on the first new nuclear reactors in nearly three decades, the President is making good on his offer to meet Republicans halfway.”

The official said that pro-nuke Republicans now need to return the favor.

Little Green Footballs - Coming Soon: More Nuclear Power Plants

Interesting. Me thinks that he's striking compromises in anticipation of a Congress becoming more Republican and having a bill that tries to phase out fossil fuel plants in favor of cleaner alternatives.

The health bill is making as much headway as a car stuck up to its windows in mud, so my take is that this will be Obama's next focus.

Or maybe he listened to his energy advisors instead of the retarded NIMBY crowd. Nuclear is the best we got right now.

Maybe, but as all politicians, they are not above simple maneuvering.
