When asked about the federal government’s role, 41% of Americans say it should encourage the production of nuclear power.
Let’s get those new construction contracts signed!
Fossil fuel and monopoly utility owners desperately trying to direct resources away from the thing killing their profits to something they know is ineffective with astroturfing campaign. Fox news watchers parroting what they’re told.

The one trick big carbon doesn’t want you to know about!

There’s only one contender, buddy. This “if only you’d stop fighting and just direct 10x the resources at a non-solution” schtick is even stupider than the rest of the lies.
The nuclear industry is owned by the same people as big carbon. The only people parroting this garbage are the same people that have been pushing coal and climate denial.
Yikes! It’s not about sticking it to the man. I don’t care who owns the nuclear industry.
I care about leaving an atmosphere to the children. Nothing can get in the way of that.
So stop trying to help the fossil industry get in the way of it. Very simple.
It’s simply not about the industry.
Why is gifting grifters trillions of dollars to make negligible impact on climate change in response to a fossil industry marketing campaign not about the grifters or the fossil industry?
Because it’s about the atmosphere. If we need more money, we’ll just print it like always. This is such a silly point you’re tryna make.
Money represents resources and labour.
The 5GW of distributed or utility solar uses less mass and less of every individual element than the 1GW nuclear reactor except for Silicon and Oxygen (the most abundant things). 3GW of wind requires much less of everything except concrete (and the gap is closing rapidly).
1000 people (including the underpaid factory workers and the upstream supply chain) working for a year can produce, ship and install the utility PV or 2-3 years for distributed, but it takes the same workforce a decade for the NPP just at the construction site (excluding the underpaid miners in Uzbekistan or Niger).
You’re also presupposing results that have never happened historically and are incredibly easy for the fossil fuel industry (who are pushing this) to delay or sabotage.
I want to see evidence of this vast rightwing conspiracy.
