Michael Krancer reports that last week, the Obama Administration unveiled the enormous Third National Climate Assessment, Climate Change Impacts in the United States. This Assessment has received some modest criticisms from libertarian think tank Cato Institute, and others. And of course, energy interests across the spectrum of coal, gas, oil, biofuel, wind, solar, etc. and those industries are puzzling over what the report means for the future of energy policy. But Krancer suggests there is an energy sector that will be more affected than any of them, and that is the nuclear power industry. This is not something that was cooked up by a couple of Obama politicos in the West Wing. The 800-plus-page Assessment is the product of a prodigious and significant scientific exercise. A 60-person Federal Advisory Committee of distinguished scientists and other experts oversaw its development. Additionally, this underwent an intense peer and public review process.
