His call for renewed nuclear power will be a harder sale. If technology has removed problems that derailed it the first time around, the public hasn't been told.

The key thing is that we not lose sight in the coming months of the urgency of developing some kind of comprehensive energy policy, an area that Bill Clinton allowed to be hijacked by his Hollywood friends with disastrous results.
