Alas, I don't recall Trump reversing Obama's EO to shut down the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.

Rather, all of that reactor waste from the last 70 years remains, for the most part, onsite of the nuclear power plans.

Strong supporter of nuclear myself, but the TMI incident still gets overblow; even more so as the power plant technology has advanced substantially over the last 45 years.

The US is going to be a laggard in nuclear power. Even so, there's some noise on the Hill and from the Administration in the right direction.

This is one area where diversity in the marketplace improves the energy outlook for America.

Yeah, I recall as that updated me on the progress the tech had made.

I just wrote a snippet on a company called Hyperion Motors which is bringing its corporate HQ and their stationary and mobile fuel cell R&D here.
