I appreciate that kind comment. The Senator from Illinois has certainly made a serious effort in a number of areas in this Chamber. I have enjoyed working with him, for example, on the tobacco issues. And I look forward to working with him on this. I also believe this must be resolved in a bipartisan manner.

Yes, I do. And it's driven by people being concerned about carbon emissions and global warming, and common sense taking hold.
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.
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.
My experience in these debates, the person who wins is the person who establishes himself with the American people toward the audience, this can be a huge audience, as being one reasonably likable.
