It makes no sense whatsoever, and it's apparently--certainly makes no sense for the same people to be urgently arguing to deal with climate change and then either quiet or urgently opposed to nuclear power.

Without the 99 nuclear power plants that operate in 30 States, carbon emissions from the U.S. electric sector would be approximately 25 percent higher.

Why would we do it? Because it makes no sense, from the standpoint of policy.
