Its amazing who they let get a blue check mark these days.

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...

From briefly reading his twitter feed, he seems almost conservative or at least independent.

Nuclear energy may not dismantle systems of power...



...but without it, we may all be without power.   :whatever:

The only reason nuclear energy isn't being exploited is that NOBODY wants to live within 100 miles of it; truly bipartisan opposition.

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.

Yeah, really.  They are safe, efficient, economical, non-polluting AND I still don't want to live next to one.   However I'm fine with one in your neighborhood, Thundley.

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.

I've lived 20 miles from one that's been on line for around 30 years. I'm fine if they put up another closer. To be in favor of them as long as they're not in one's neighborhood is elitist/Democrat logic.

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.
