It seems unlikely that an agreement on the terms of the next climate treaty could be reached at the December-scheduled Copenhagen talks………………..Many lawmakers are pushing for nuclear power to be included in the climate bill ……………However, they are at conflict of ideas with the environmentalists who argue that the nuclear waste that would be generated from these nuclear plants will pose serious management issues given the fact that President Obama wants to close the Yucca Mountain storage facility. Furthermore, the increase in number of nuclear power plants would also poses national security issues.
