Yes. Can I caps? YES!!

Texas has some of the cheapest electrical power due to nuclear push for power plants there.

Hell, if the US Navy can run on nuclear power since the friggin FIFTIES (yeah Admiral Rickover, may he rest in peace, was a bit of an a**hole but on THAT front he knew what the hell he was talking about, didn’t he?) without any major accidents, then there’s NO reason whatsoever that the US can’t run on nuclear power.

The only place nuclear power can be developed and used without a hysterical hissy fit from liberals is Iran. They have no problem with the mad mullahs developing nuclear “power” for so called peaceful purposes.
But try to build new nuclear power plants here and suddenly it is an unthinkable crime against humanity.

Has the time come for nuclear power? Yes: It’s safe, clean, cost-effective

I’m all for nuclear energy...just make sure trustworthy companies
are picked for the building and operation of new nuclear plants.

BUT, here in Mid-Missouri there is talk about building a second
nuclear plant at Fulton, MO.

My concern is that it will be run by Ameran UE.
Which has been called “America’s Worst Power Company”...
not just by myself, but by some power/energy experts.

They routinely lose power for a week or two if a strong storm blows
through cities like St. Louis.

Even worse, they can’t even operate a dam.

IIRC, Ameren UE was found to have “lost” some records about the dam
in the aftermath of the failure.

I’d fear they’d keep all the records of nuclear operations on-site at
their nuke plant.
And just blow the plant if they were under another investigation!

My bet is history will show that nuclear power is 5,000% safer then current cellphones...
