Kyoto Protocol Excluded Nuclear Power

At Copenhagen, the rich countries have pushed for a new agreement, and an end to the legally binding Kyoto Protocol. The KyotoProtocol had stated that the industrialised nations had  responsibility for the rise in atmospheric greenhouse gases. This point was now to be omitted.

Also with the KyotoProtocol’s Clean Development Mechanism, nuclear power was excluded – how inconvenient  for the nuclear lobby, in its desperation to resuscitate the industry. You can bet that in any proposed new agreement, nuclear might just find its way in!
