“I guess you are “no” on Trump’s email list.”
Is English a second language “To” you? LOL!
Nope, no one died. I was working at Brookhaven Lab on Long Island at the time. It was the designated site for emergency response. A fleet of helicopters roared off to 3 mile that morning amid great panic. All agreed the next week it was a nothing burger proving that, despite errors, all the safety procedures worked but it still effectively killed Nuclear Power in this country.
You forgot to include the most curious part of the timeline...
The fact that only 2 weeks prior to the incident on March 16 1979, predictive programming called “The China Syndrome” was released in theaters to scare the populace before the incident happened.
Coincidence?
You also forgot the last parts of the timeline....
More than 100 nuclear reactors that were planned to be built were scrapped in the years after the incident.
Coincidence?
Without nuclear generating plants the grid will not be able to sustain the EV push.
Nobody died at Three mile Island.
Nobody died at Fukushima (from radiation exposure)!
47 people ( I think, cold be few more or less) died at Chernobyl.
All these three nuclear accidents together killed about one fifth of Americans killed by fentanyl on average day!
Even Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb caused only about 1% rise of cancers in survivors!
Nuclear radiation is pretty natural and pretty safe!
Indeed, but it provided fodder for the purpose-lacking power-seeking Ecogeddon disciples, whose work actually hindered safe form of energy
Nuclear energy, for example, results in 99.9% fewer deaths than brown coal; 99.8% fewer than coal; 99.7% fewer than oil; and 97.6% fewer than gas. Wind and solar are just as safe. - https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy
If you are trying to say that you think the powers that be are going to reverse course and stop tricking the public out of nuclear power and start to convincing them to use it so that EVs can succeed....What makes you think they want EVs to succeed?
Isn’t is much more likely that they just want cheap, reliable gas vehicles to be extremely rare so that the serfs are unable to travel freely?
I was part of the group that was sent to TMI to plan the recovery. I ended up as the subcontract administrator for the office building that was built along with also subbing for the guy monitoring the construction of the 200,000 gallon water tank that was needed to process the deionized water during the clean up.
The evening of March 27, I went to see a movie about some power plant problem - starring Jack Lemon.
By amazing coincidence, I just happened to finish watching The China Syndrome.
“Give me feedwater, Barney!”
Ditto: that, I am 82 recall it like yesterday.
The system was shutting itself down and they interrupted and stopped it. If they had left it alone, they would have been fine.
