India. Kudankulam anti nuclear movement continues their struggle, with legal cases to come.

USA. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to develop a new “Waste Confidence Rule” –  (means they think that nuclear power could go ahead, because they believe that a waste disposal solution will be found, one day, ).   Obama and Romney have different policies on renewable energy promotion – Obama basicall FOR, Romney AGAINST.
