The new "rules" Trump's DOE just handed to the nuclear industry should alarm anyone living near a proposed nuclear reactor.
Safety is now just a recommendation. 👇

GA's "new" Plant Vogtle reactors resulted in a 25% increase in electric bills 👀
Then why is @governor.ny.gov hellbent on building new reactors in NY that will drive up 🔌 bills?

Climate activists find little comfort in Gov. Hochul’s State of the State message
The Democrat’s address emphasized nuclear with smaller goals for new renewable energy.

Nuclear power is not the answer.
A new report from the Hawaiʻi State Energy Office finds that nuclear energy is legally barred, technologically unviable, and fundamentally incompatible with Hawaiʻi’s climate goals, public safety needs, and history in the Pacific.
The conclusion is decisive.

Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group will go to zero before they produce a working fusion reactor, guaranteed. But lots of marks (including US taxpayers) will generously line some grifter pockets along the way.
