It estimated that "meaningful deployment" of technology to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions is at least two decades away. It acknowledged the challenges for nuclear power "with regard to policy, capital costs, waste management — and public opinion."
Just the words people were looking for to push it off three more decades...
