I don’t really get the ignorance. There are so many promising alternatives to pressurized water reactors using 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s technology (as long as they don’t use MS Windows in critical areas) that it is insane we are even having these issues.

We should be full bore exploring Thorium Reactors, Pebble Bed reactors, modular and scalable reactors using 21st century technology.

It just baffles me.

Only thing I can think of is they’re holding out for fusion, but that’s probably a long ways off still. Probably longer than the lifespan of any fission reactor built this decade.

Jane Fondle did her work well in The China Syndrome.

The Dumbs lapped it up, and transferred their "knowledge" to the baby Dumbs.

Generation 4 should be going full-bore, but the Watermelons [Green on the outside, Red on the inside, and overflowing with Xi-Putin cash] are too well-funded.

You need civilization for true scientific advancement.

The West has declared civilization “racist”—so back to the caves we go....

Aw,shit. Wind and sun provide the answers. /s
