Biden was elected on the premise that he could handle four simultaneous crises: COVID, the economy, racism and climate change.

Now that I think about it, have the democrats actually done anything this term about climate change?

The Inflation Reduction Act passed which had a bunch of subsidies for renewables in it, but I can't think of much else. I only know about this because the act also reclassified nuclear power as zero-emission and eligible for its own set of green power subsidies.

Yeah it makes no sense that this wasn't already the case but I'll take what I can get. IIRC the subsidies allocated towards it are mostly going to be used to extend the lifespan of existing plants and prevent early decommissions.

Because on the left, the Silent generation is almost dead, and the 60's boomer activist class is going to the nursing home in droves. The Dems biggest base is currently college educated millennials. That demo sees climate as more of a threat than people who're on death's door. Nukes are more popular with that demo. And rightfully so.

The right, oil and gas lobby has a vested interest in keeping it out.
