At least he admits climate change is just a vehicle to destroy everything so guys like him can rebuild the world in his image. Of course we have to give up freedom for that to happen...

Really? Must be a lot of ill-informed people. Most of the people I know prefer nuke plants to these blights on the countryside called wind farms.

I've lived about 12 miles from the San Onofre nuclear plant for over 22 years and have never felt nervous about it.

I live within 30 miles or so from one. It provides one of the best places to fish within 100 miles.

Having been on a nuke sub and learning about the plants gives a different perspective on their safety. I'd take nuke plants over coal any time.

Post by: 3rd-try on July 25, 2021, 08:42:21 PM: Yep. Keep pushing for zero carbon emissions, and how we must save the planet by shifting to renewables. No nuclear, no coal, no fossil fuels=your Tesla will forever be out of gas.
