It only took them 48 years.   =D


And given the regulations and requirements they have slammed through, it takes 48 years to bring a new plant online.

We should have fusion power by then.   ;/

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Trump should give a speech announcing a renewed push to nuclear power.
Within the hour dems will be condemning nuclear power again

That will probably be declared racist, homophobic or sexist or all of the above.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

They won't get rid of those.  They still don't like deregulation.


I have seen the smarter environmentalists talk about the nuclear before.  I think Dems are just desperate right now.  Which is odd considering all the polls show them in the lead.  They are not acting like they are in the lead.

Exactly. Which is why it's easy for them to say they're in favor. They can start the work on 50 new plants after Biden is in office (narrator: "He won't be), and it won't get out of the initial paperwork filing stage until most of us are dead and buried. But hey, they're in favor of nuclear.
