In the 1990's, the same people that wanted the Kyoto Treaty had been blocking nuclear power even when nuclear power is cleanest form of energy around. Former Vice President Gore showed to America he was trying to destroy America's nuclear power industry. And in committees, Gore and his buddies quickly rejected scientists' ideas of using nuclear energy to fight CO2 emissions. Now (ten to fifteen years later), many of those same global warming proponents now want to use nuclear energy to reduce CO2 emissions. Those global warming proponents don't stop to think that America could be building new nuclear reactors right now if they never opened their mouths. They caused a 20 year delay.
Gore refused the idea of using nuclear power plants to make cheap hydrogen fuel for cars. (During non-peak hours, nuclear power plants can be configured to generate hydrogen which can be used to power cars). The only emmission from burning hydrogen in modified car engines is pure water.
