Mounting evidence nuclear power is needed to curb emissions...

[Chizzang]

Where do you meet these people you describe..?

I spot them from afar and then go the other way

The temptation to double back and slap them hard across the face must be overwhelming

What was true almost 50 years ago (i.e. that nuclear power had some glaring safety concerns) is no longer the case today, at least here in America. We can do it safely, and we could start doing it tomorrow and have a significant impact on greenhouse gases and climate change right now. I understand why eco-warriors were against it in the 70's, and to a large extent they were correct, but to apply the same anti-nuke fervor today is decidedly incorrect and anti-science.

What many don't understand is the safety record of a well-designed nuclear plant. Everything that could go wrong with Three Mile Island did, and even then, the amount of radiation released was tiny - half of a chest x-ray, 40 times less than living in Denver for a year. Even 40 years out, no bump in cancers or any other health effect noted (Yes, some people in the area got cancer, but the rate is no different than unaffected areas, so no connection to TMI).

It's like spotting a fucking unicorn.

Yes, there were safety and environmental issues with the uranium mining in the 50's (it was considered a "National Emergency" back then, so cleanup and mining waste effects were ignored - lesson for today), but that is a solvable issue with the right Administration.

SC got screwed with its pants on by Westinghouse and now has 2 nuke plants, half complete, that are just sitting there.

Trump admin just agreed to something like $10B more in loans to get them completed.

Actually the brain stem controls the lower functions like sh1tting and grunting

I’m pretty sure that’s the one part they do have

You give them too much credit collectively.

At a Republican Fund raiser
The president of the United States just claimed that wind power causes cancer



Yes ladies and gentlemen...
We have a President that thinks wind power causes cancer
Guam might tip over soon

I think we need to put up wind farms everywhere

The limo libs want them all in the flyover states because we don't matter. My county has around 175 turbines and they are 20% of the property value in the county now. My property taxes are down $500 because of wind farms in our county. Build more.

Progress on the proposed offshore Delaware Joe Biden Windfarm has stalled.

......and if you run them all in reverse, you will cure cancer in your county.

I’d say “confidence is high” that wind turbines don’t cause cancer

maybe if you drink the lube oil

Are you suggesting that the most powerful man in the world
The leader of our great nation
and light of the free world

is uninformed..?

I'm sure he's been informed, he's just not very bright.

I haven't seen any news of that. The projects were cancelled b/c Westinghouse went tits up.

Everything I have read shows that project has been abandoned.

Must be more of Z's fake news/Trump-fawning.

Just add to the list of Z's fake Trump "accomplishments"

Yup, it was cancelled in 2017. But the ratepayers are still saddled with the high energy costs AND the price hikes that went into effect to pay for it.

Yep

What’s even more remarkable is this one’s a Republican

The article I read talked about a Vocktle Plant in GA, just south of Savannah. Is that the same ones? Or are yours different ones?

Well that's just like, your opinion, man.

Different.

Like I said in my other post- VC Sumner in South Carolina.


Please keep up, Tom. If you need help, we can get you a summer intern.

After closing down their nuclear plants, Japan is now expected to build up to 22 new coal power plants. An example of the uselessness of the Paris Climate Accord and why nuclear power is still needed.
