“In 2021, only 41 percent of Americans identified as environmentalists, down from 78 percent in 1991. That drop isn’t due to Americans suddenly wanting dirty air and water.

Are you sure about that? I mean, just look at who 1/3 of Americans put into office.

Yes.

Really, anyone who opposes the continued safe operation of nuclear plants is either uninformed, an idiot who refuses to change their view because of they happen to have negative emoyions about nuclear, or is a fossil fuel industry shill.

im not wild about nuclear but if the choice is between nuclear and anything outside of renewables then I want the nuclear. Also closing a plant before getting full use out of it is also stupid to me. That being for new power solar and wind are my preference.
