On Monday we noted Gov. Schwarzenegger  was reportedly considering allowing power generated at nuclear plants to help meet the renewable power requirements that he established by executive order.  We noted that this could have been an important example in recognizing the critical role that nuclear power can play in meeting our need for reliable, scalable, carbon-free power for our future.

In the end, however, the order did not allow for power generated by nuclear plants to help meet the standard. 

Although such a move would have been unexpected, it would have been a significant statement about nuclear power, and now is an opportunity missed.
