The issue of nuclear power could cleave the field even as all the major presidential candidates promise to aggressively take on climate change.
Several candidates vying for the party's presidential nomination in 2020 are promoting or have shown openness to expanding "next-generation" nuclear power as part of the arsenal of options to aggressively address the effects of climate change.
Threatened animals: In push to be 'energy dominant,' Trump puts squeeze on polar bears, whales and sage grouse, critics sayFormer vice president Al Gore, known for his environmental activism, opposed expansion of nuclear power when he was the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee. Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer, who has funded climate change initiatives at the ballot box and flirted with a run for president, advocates for renewable fuels and improved energy storage, but not nuclear.
" we should continue to explore next-generation advanced nuclear technologies," the governor said in a statement provided to USA TODAY, adding that it would have to be safe, competitively priced, and come with a plan for storing waste. President Donald Trump, a climate change skeptic whose administration has championed fossil fuels such as oil and coal, signed legislation in 2018 to expand the nuclear industry.
