Nuclear power

Here is a quote from the president. “[When] it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it's over, we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said He truly believes that wind and solar will replace fossil fuels. He never mentioned nuclear. There is hope since California's left wing governor has to decided not to close the last nuclear power plant in the state scheduled to close in 2025. While this is good to help prevent brown outs this plant should never have been built on the coast as it is subject to damage from a tsunami. Here is more hope. It took five decades, but the Democratic Party has finally changed its stance on nuclear energy. In its recently released party platform, the Democrats say they favor a “technology-neutral” approach that includes “all zero-carbon technologies, including hydroelectric power, geothermal, existing and advanced nuclear, and carbon capture and storage.”  That statement marks the first time since 1972 that the Democratic Party has said anything positive in its platform about nuclear energy. The change in policy is good — and long overdue — news for the American nuclear-energy sector and for everyone concerned about climate change
