If the project goes forward, the reactors would be the first begun in the United States since the 1970s. At the same time, the president’s embrace of nuclear energy has drawn the ire of environmental groups that have long opposed any return to a reliance on nuclear power.They aren't 'environmental groups', they're a bunch of Luddite Flat Earthers.
This isn't the '70's and like all technology Nuclear Plant Design and Safety has increased by the nth degree. What these wackos are doing is akin to opposing building any new Automobiles because their comparison model is one built in 1975.
These morons believe nothing has changed in 35 Years. 'Heck', when Nuke Plants weer being designed in the 1970's Engineers were still using Slide Rules for Pete's sake. Now how 'enlightened' (/s) is that of these groups.
Paging Jane Fonda. Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone.
Your shrink is holding on line two.
plus the nuclear plants actually “built” in the ‘70s had been designed long before — it’s probably more like 40-45 years since those designs?
1) an intelligent “green” should be strongly pro-nuclear power
2) virtually no “greens” are pro-nuclear power
ergo, virtually no “greens” are intelligent
