rural americans will drive past a coal-fired power plant, in their five mpg ford truck, to go to a small town city council meeting and complain about how environmentally destructive solar panels are (slrpnk.net)

And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

I hate the nuclear hate. Maybe today we have better options, although micro-reactors have a lot of promise, but if we invested in nuclear energy 50 years ago our planet would not even be close to fucked up.

People are always fearful of the nuclear accidents but they don't even come close to those killed in the extraction of fossil fuels, but poor lives don't matter. God help anyone has to bear even a miniscule risk for their own energy production.

Thanks for listening to my rant

I thought the primary problem with nuclear is that it is incredibly expensive?

People on average have a higher risk of exposure to radiation by going to their grandma's for dinner than by living directly next to a nuclear power plant

Thank you for your rant. It is exasperating how people completely dismiss nuclear and politicians go right along with them.
