On Wednesday, the European Parliament voted to back European Union rules labeling some investments in natural gas and nuclear energy as "green," "sustainable," and climate-friendly.

The vote allows the EU to move forward with its energy plan, which will allow natural gas and nuclear power to be eligible for subsidies reserved for renewable energy.

In the U.S., meanwhile, many skeptics of nuclear power, mainly Democrats, are now giving nuclear power a second look as they seek clean energy in a changing energy landscape.

Supporters of nuclear energy note it produces zero emissions and provides power 24 hours a day, unlike wind and solar.

Opponents counter that storing nuclear material can be dangerous, along with other reasons.
