Nuclear power could be part of the solution -- with the right set of free-market reforms. Congress, the nuclear industry, and many Americans agree that reform of U.S. nuclear policies is necessary, but cannot agree on what those reforms should look like. The nuclear provision in the Senate's new Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act is a nice nod to nuclear power, but leaves the waters muddied. http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/bg2335.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Jack Spencer and Nicolas D.

Concerns abound about the legislation's adverse economic consequences, and there is skepticism of its affects on world climate trends. I will focus my analysis and observations on the national security implications of attempting to address climate change through a framework established by national legislation. http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/tst102709a.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James Jay Carafano, Ph.

Cap and trade is nothing more than a massive energy tax that will raise prices and destroy jobs, and no state can escape the economic perils it causes. http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/wm2585.cfm The Heritage Foundation - David Kreutzer, Ph.D., Karen Campbell, Ph.D., William W.
