Where is it happening? Western countries stopped building nuclear years ago.

There is a whole new generation of nuclear power plant designs, which do not rely on huge cooling towers and on-site storage of “spent” uranium fuel rods to operate at capacity. These new designs, know as Small Modular Reactors, can be built on an assembly line in a factory, and trucked or shipped by rail or barge to the locality, and be set up and running within WEEKS, rather than years, as is the case with the older design of light water reactors.

Check these advances out. The future is arriving, every day.

Anti-nuke, Deep State apparatchiks have created federal regulations that result in endless public hearings and opportunities for leftist lawsuits to stall construction so that a company wanting to build a nuclear reactor won’t start to earn a profit from their multi-billion dollar investment for decades.

The anti-2nd Amendment leftists have adopted the same tactic. Rather than trying to ban guns, they are working to make a regulatory labyrinth for anyone wanting to purchase a gun or ammunition.

And now these traitorous Demonicrats are starting to do the same thing to anyone trying to purchase a car or truck with an internal combustion engine. They’ve already turned cars into bumperless plastic vehicles that are essentially “totalled” after a 5-mph collision.
