Ed Whitfield: “Nuclear energy is, and will continue to be an integral piece of our electricity portfolio.”

Why do you think the Supreme Court issued a stay of the Clean Power Plan?

Amen. I was just in China and we saw their reports in the local press. They're building new power plants they know they don't need. They just want the jobs, more coal emissions. So, again, it's a global challenge. It's not just America's…

Well, a lot of us did not believe that to be true.

I want clean air. I want clean water. But I don't want an organized attack on the energy-producing sector of America because of, to use Mr. McNerney's term, a political decision to go after hydrocarbons.
