Browner Emphasizes Obama Support for Nuclear Power. By Jeff Mason, Reuters, January 11, 2010. "The Obama administration wants to help the nuclear industry build a power plant for the first time in years to help diversify U.S. energy supplies and fight climate change, the White House said on Monday. Carol Browner, President Barack Obama's top energy and climate adviser at the White House said... 'We have not built a nuclear plant in this country in a long time but we want to work with the industry to make that happen in the not too distant future... We have been working with the nuclear industry to understand exactly what it is they need... The president believes that nuclear needs to be a part of our energy future... If you believe as we do that climate change is a serious problem... then you need to be open to what are all of the ways in which we can produce energy in a clean manner.'"
