So... Taxpayers will pay for new nuclear plants. 😡😤
#Westinghouse

This sounds very similar to France: EDF going bankrupt and nationalized.

Both taxpayers and ratepayers will pay for nuclear energy.

I do not consent!!!

“the combination of wind and solar provided 15.1% more electricity than coal during the first nine months of this year… Capacity additions by solar, wind, and battery storage continue to dramatically outpace gas, coal and nuclear.” #CleanIsCheaper

Solar output beats wind power for third straight month in US
The latest "Electric Power Monthly" report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that solar grew by 29.9% in September 2025 compared

Today in 1949, the US Atomic Energy Commission and US Air Force conducted a secret experiment at the Hanford Reservation in Washington State, exposing thousands of people living downwind to dangerous levels of radioactive iodine-131 and xenon-133 from freshly-irradiated or “green” uranium fuel.
Copy of the cover page of a partially declassified May 1, 1950, report by the Development Division and Health Instrument Divisions of the General Electric Nucleonics Department at Hanford titled "Dissolving of Twenty Day Metal at Hanford." A map showing the extent of radioactive contamination released during the "Green Run." An oblong, light purple "cloud" stretches from Kettle Falls and Spokane in northeast Washington to Klamath Falls in south central Oregon. A, darker, more concentrated plume covers the Hanford Reservation in southeastern Washington, as well as nearby communities of Ritzville, Moses Lake, Walla Walla, and stretches south of the Columbia River to encompass The Dalles and Pendleton, Oregon.

@willshackel.bsky.social You complain about nuclear power disinformation, provide banana / nuclear power disinformation, then complain that you're being attacked?
😮‍💨🤦🏼‍♀️

Bananas contain natural radiation, potassium-40, that our bodies are equipped to regulate.
No special gear for workers.

Today in 1958, a B-47 on ground alert at Chennault Air Force Base, Louisiana, carrying a sealed-pit hydrogen bomb containing no plutonium, caught fire when the Jet-Assisted Take-Off (JATO) bottles accidentally discharged during the pilot’s acceptance check, pushing the plane into a towing vehicle.

Today in 1984—just over a year after it first opened in movie theaters—“Testament” was broadcast for the first time on PBS as part of the American Playhouse series. The intimate film memorably dramatizes the devastating effects of a nuclear war on a single family in a small Northern California town.
A small black and white newspaper advertisement for “Testament” by Connecticut Public Television, showing a photograph of a mushroom cloud and the following text: “What happens after the day after? A California family struggles to survive in the wake of a nuclear holocaust in this gripping, critically acclaimed film. Jane Alexander earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance. TESTAMENT American Playhouse Monday November 26 9:00 p.m.” The stark original one-sheet movie poster for “Testament”: About five-sixths of the poster is a rectangular gray box, starting light at the top and becoming darker at the bottom. In the top right corner are the words (in black), “They never had a chance to see their children grow up. To watch each other grow old. To fix up the house, to take that vacation. Because it only took an instant to shatter their dreams.” The film title is at the bottom of the box in white capital letters, and the credits are below that.

Amazing the world’s 5th largest economy (California) increased its GDP (81% up) and cut its GHG emissions (21% cut) since 2000, BUT not a single major news outlet covered the story? Obviously the fossil fuel industry and its sycophants don’t want the world to know.
