American Thinker connects the dots on Obama's attempt to destroy America's nuclear energy sector through the backdoor:
This action will likely forestall the construction of new nuclear power plants which incorporate advanced safety and reliability features. These promising designs would add additional electric generating capacity without the huge carbon footprint of coal fired plants, which the Obama administration also opposes.

This is the same backdoor strategy that Obama has used with legalizing pot. He has given strong indications that he will use regulations to achieve the same outcome with coal, talk radio and the Internet. But back to the issue at hand...
American Thinker sums it up with this:
The Yucca Mountain decision is another example by this Administration where energy policy is driven by the liberal left rather than a realistic assessment of our energy options.And, in denying this nation the benefits of clean, reliable nuclear power, Obama has eliminated the one energy option which has successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale basis. Instead, we embark upon a hopeful, sustainable energy future using green technologies which are uneconomical and in many cases, unproven.
