article_snippet.sent: (CNN)If there was ever any doubt that the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan is an energy policy plan, not a carbon reduction plan, all you have to do is look at how the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan is an energy policy plan, not a carbon reduction plan treat nuclear energy.
article_snippet.sent: Nuclear is our largest source of carbon-free energy, generating over 60% of our carbon-free electricity.   
article_snippet.sent: Surely President Barack Obama's climate plan, allegedly aimed at reducing the United States' overall carbon emissions, would revitalize the nuclear industry, lead to increased plant construction and help meet aggressive carbon reduction targets.
article_snippet.sent: James Hansen, the former head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in 2013 that "continued opposition to nuclear power threatens humanity's ability to avoid dangerous climate change.
article_snippet.sent: Yet Wednesday, the White House will celebrate Earth Day and promote the White House work to fend off climate change, while strategically ignoring the White House largest tool to cut carbon emissions -- nuclear energy -- as well as the warning of one of the administration's favorite climate scientists.
article_snippet.sent: Despite the fact that nuclear power is carbon-free, the Obama administration's energy policy plan is biased against the Obama administration's energy policy plan.  
article_snippet.sent: This anti-nuclear bias also is evident in Obama's recent executive order "Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade," which directs agencies to reduce agencies carbon emissions.
article_snippet.sent: Even though existing nuclear plants generate carbon-free electricity, the executive order does not allow agencies to take credit for emission reduction from nuclear energy unless credit is energy from small modular reactors.
article_snippet.sent: The administration also believes in man-driven global warming, which should make nuclear energy
article_snippet.sent: But the Clean Power Plan and the President's recent executive order demonstrate that The administration is neither serious about reducing carbon emissions nor pursuing an all-of-the-above energy strategy.
article_snippet.sent: If you think The administration supports nuclear energy, think again.
highlights_snippet.sent: Nuclear is our largest source of carbon-free energy, generating over 60% of our carbon-free electricity .
  
highlights_snippet.sent: So why doesn't the President's climate plan, allegedly aimed at reducing carbon emissions, do more with nuclear power?
