I agree that "the Iran deal" is a sore issue. But that is not the issue. Regarding climate change, I would focus much more in China and India getting nuclear power plants (which they are building right now), rather than worry about proliferation, since that ship sailed decades ago.

I should be clear, I think the US policy re: proliferation is more draconian than necessary, and will essentially prevent any new nuclear technology from being shared, worsening climate change and increasing the risk of mishaps.

Climate change is a global problem and if nuclear is going to be a part of the solution the proliferation issue is central.
