"All that glitters is not gold."

There are so many reasons why it is better to support 100% clean, renewable energy systems.

France opened a flurry of nuclear power plants in the 1980s and 1990s, giving it low-carbon electricity ever since—

Fusion: "...the Livermore lab project actually exists primarily to study nuclear weapons. Fusion is the process used for thermonuclear weapons, also called hydrogen bombs, which are much more powerful than the first generation of atomic weapons, which used fission."

Pacific Fusion in Albuquerque will produce nuclear waste for NM to store.
Fusion won't be making "clean energy" to the grid any time soon.
Support phasing out fossil fuels with 100% clean, renewable energy systems!

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham @govmlg.bsky.social · 8d

Pacific Fusion chose Albuquerque over Silicon Valley for its $1 billion nuclear fusion research and manufacturing campus at Mesa del Sol.

This is about powering the future with clean energy—we're leading the way.

You don't want Holtec to store nuclear waste in NM but you want to make nuclear waste (& weapons) with fusion?
That's so hypocritical!
We need to stop making nuclear waste that no state wants to store!!!

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.
