The energy plan is not even subject to the whims of Congress: It violates the hard facts of physics. Unless we really want to go to rationing electricity, having daily outages, having our limited manufacturing base made non-functional because of unreliable power, etc.
Once we have safe nuclear power developed, we can drop those new reactors right into the existing reactor sites and continue on using all the power we need and not adding any more carbon to the atmosphere. We can even use some reactors to remove carbon from the atmosphere and bury it (like inverse coal).
