"Why don't we have a clean energy standard? Why do we leave out, for example, nuclear power, which produces 70 percent of our carbon-free electricity today?"

"So why don't we have a clean energy standard or why don't we have a base-load clean energy standard and a renewable energy standard?"

"Maybe what we need is a base-load clean energy standard and a renewable clean energy standard."

"There would be more under building 100 nuclear power plants, a lot more, than there would be under building even 180,000 wind turbines."
