Environmentalism is a scourge that must be eradicated from humanity. I remember when as a young man I would drive into work at the Indian Point nuclear power plants (now shutdown by liberal progressive environmentalist Democrat NY State) and be blocked at the gate by hippie dippie yippie nit wit envrionmentalists dressed in their rainbow cloaks with their Indian head bands and pigeon feathers smoking dope and carousing, and the local constabulary was unable to do anything except keep them out of the gate. I think the plant security guards with their M16 rifles should have been turned loose considering the threat these imbeciles represented to nuclear security. But the US NRC would have taken a dim view of the bad publicity that giving environmentalists what they deserve would result in.
In case it isn’t clear to you all, I despise environmentalism and all its worthless useless solar and wind power.
I am going to continue on with my rant. And yes, I can back all this up with links from various DOE, NEI, ANS, IAEA web sites, but I am not going to bother right now.
What has the LOWEST mortality rate per tera-watt hour of electric generation? NUCLEAR!
What generates the LEAST air pollution? NUCLEAR!
What has the HIGHEST capacity factor? NUCLEAR!
Every useless worthless godless solar and wind facility, due to its low capacity factor, requires spinning fossil fuel reserve to generate power during the 70% of the time when there’s no wind, no sun. Think about it! How much solar is there at night time? NONE! How much wind on a hot summer’s day? NONE! So in that video above where a methane burning power plant and methane gas supply lines would be abandoned to protect some animal or plant or something, but a series of solar cells that have a less than 30% capacity factor would be installed, killing those same animals and plants, and necessitating the methane supply now abandoned, from where exactly do these dumb a$$ idiot enviro-wackos eco-nazis think they are going to get their electricity? Is it like money that grows on trees and unicorns and pixie fairy dust?
Liberals, progressives, environmentalists and Democrats have the largest mouths and smallest brains of any of the primates.
PS, I like electricity, whether from nuclear, gas, oil or coal. And I say, use ALL of them and level the regulatory playing field, and then let the free market work. No special government incentives for any of them, and no regulatory knee-capping either.
“What has the lowest mortality rate per tera-watt hour”
Remember the bumper stickers from 1980 that said “More people died at Chappaquiddick than at Three Mile Island”?
Yup.
No evidence doesn’t mean no impact.
Just like those claims the mRNA no evidence of this or that. Just wait till they find out they weren’t keeping data – not the point.
In Michigan, Consumer’s Energy (and I assume Detroit Edison) are advertising that they would like to buy large tracts of land to put up solar panels. (They are advertising at the Speedway gas pump).

I’m a bigger fan of petro than I am nuclear (or at least my stock portfolio is–any stock tips LQC?? I can change, LOL), but I am willing to bet that a three or four stragetically placed nuclear power plants could power Michigan just fine and do so on a lot less land (like LOTS LESS) than wind and solar farms that uglify our beautiful State of Michigan.

Dow Chemical is reportedly buiding a mini reactor down in the Gulf area. If all goes as planned, it should be up and running by 2030
“ Save the Bay!”
-After saving the Bay… donations we’re down..
“Clean Air & Water!”
– after cleaning up the air and water donations were again down.

Unlimited power and money, environmentalism has never been so good.
@DJH, read this about the 7 best nuclear energy stocks to buy right now:

My advice? Since 90+% of transportation energy comes from fossil fuel and 70% of electricity is fossil generated, diversify your investments: uranium, methane, oil and coal. Also, look into big utility companies that have nuclear generation like Exelon, Entergy, FP&L, Dominion, Duke Energy, etc. Do NOT invest in any left coast electric utility. They are on the path of suicide with useless worthless renewables.
And don’t forget Michigan has several nuke facilities: DC Cook, Palisades and Enrico Fermi. Nuclear supplies 30% of Michigan electricity.
And for Donald who lives in Illinois, Exelon’s nukes supply 53% of your electricity. Those plants will run flat out at 100% power during the winter no matter how much snow you get and how cold the temp drops. No pipelines to freeze, no solar panels to be snowed over, no wind turbine blades to ice up. Heavy metal fission is awesome. And refueling only once every 2 years!
Thank you LCQ. I thought we only had Palisades in MI, which was shut down, but Whitmer has discovered nuclear, and it might open again. The UP could definitely use a couple since the Line 5 controversy threatens to shut down power in the UP. No way could the amount of oil/gas needed travel across the Might Mac (which is surprisingly narrow when you really see it). Maybe a few mini reactors near the population centers since it is not well populated
Constant output of nukes is a nice complement to fossil generation, allowing fossil to come in and out with enough maintenance. A portfolio of nuke, fossil and undependable green would be best.
David WS, there you go talking common sense. It’ll get you nowhere with this woke generation.
