I think there are limits to it. The GW scam has been clattering around since the late 80s. While there is still a lot of propaganda, 1) the climate is not really changing and 2) people across the board are balking at the costs and proposals associated with “fixing” it. With an election coming up next year, you can be sure that Obama will try to keep energy prices down (as long as it doesn’t involve new drilling, refineries, or pipelines). After the election, however, it probably back ot the same old BS.

b) closing nukes.

Once they face the fact that they can't replace the power generated by the nuke plants, they'll have to back away from the whole idea of closing them.
