La Casa Bianca keeps the atom in the category of "clean" technologies. The new budget submitted by Obama saving aid from the forest sector cuts announced. In recent days the Minister Steven Chu had clarified that the funds available to their staff would suffer cuts for about 600 million and that the real challenge of its mandate would be to eliminate the subsidies to oil, coal and gas Obama himself has put in 46 billion dollars over the next decade (3.6 in 2012).
The White House's proposal goes far in this direction. But the transition to the Congress can literally twist the figures of the budget, so for now the numbers are to be understood as a simple political will all be confirmed. Nuclear power should have an easy life also in the room to the Republican majority: the Financial obamiana triples government guarantees for those who build new power plants: the size of the fund increased from 18.5 billion to 54 billion with the addition of support for a research project from $ 67 million to create mini 2-300 MW reactors
Harder will pass the full cut of all government research programs including those from the fossil fuels technologies "young" as the extraction of shale gas. Should survive to support CCS.
If these measures are confirmed, Obama's energy policy would run counter to the demands of the industry is very doubtful about the construction of new power plants and excited about the prospects for development of a European-type gas.
