Faustian fission, U.S. Senate style

U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has called upon youth climate protection leaders to not worry about nuclear power expansion provisions in his Senate climate legislation. He told them that market forces would favor renewables and efficiency. What he didn't tell them is that the impending $100 billion or more in taxpayer subsidies for new nuclear would undermine those very market forces about which he speaks. Beyond Nuclear has analyzed Kerry's words, and his contradictory actions, and suggested what can be done to head off a dead end nuclear power expansion, a false solution to the all too real climate crisis.
