The Argument

Joe Biden supports nuclear power as a form of clean energy, a platform in line with the Democratic Party. He supported the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act and the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act. Donald Trump is relatively ambivalent to nuclear power because of his support for the oil, gas, and coal industries.[1]
