easy sell. However, they ran into a "buzz-saw"; one of the most anti-nuclear Administrations to come to power in Washington. The Clinton Administration with Al Gore running energy and environmental policy; just didn't want to hear about it."
Given the fact that while Clinton was President he had to work with a Republican Congress for several years and no funding was proposed.
And given the fact that the GOP has been running the White House and both houses of Congress for the past 6 years and hasn't show interest either.
The truth it would seem that there are only two political parties in the US and neither one is the least bit interested.
Laying this off on Clinton and Gore may make you feel good but it doesn't correspond with political reality. Fission can not be sold to the lay-public as they have seen far too many examples of the industry lying to them.
The issue that needs to be dealt with is not technological it is the repetition of lying and misrepresentation by the industry and its supporters. Even when they are telling the truth ... no one believes them.
