This summer, the devastating impacts of the climate crisis — scorching temperatures baking the Southwest, wildfires raging in Hawaii and Canada, catastrophic flooding in Vermont — have never been clearer.

Unfortunately, many in Washington are using this as justification to bring nuclear power back from its well-deserved grave. Tens of billions of dollars in subsidies — including a $6 billion effort launched last year by the Biden administration —are being given to prop up an industry that has never proven its economic viability, let alone its safety.

To actually save our climate from careening off a cliff, it’s essential we do what’s 1) cheapest, 2) fastest, 3) safest for people and the planet, as well as 4) most reliable. Nuclear power is a distraction that fails to hold up on all four.

Erich Pica is a President for the Friends of the Earth. pretty much tells me all I need to know about him and his agenda.

SAY WHAT? If this Gaia worshiper is going to whine about subsidies for nuclear shouldn't he whine about the 'green industries' subsidies and losses to the taxpayers?

Nuclear bad, but the greenies plans to cover God knows how many acres with wind, solar and battery farms and the slaughter of raptors, other avians, and pollinators plus the destruction of wildlife habitat(which was just horrible if used by off roaders). And then there are the whales killed that we know of so far, what will be added dolphins, porpoises? All which is deemed good in the name of so called green unreliable energy. These people are insane!

WHile we are aware of the effects on cetaceans, does anyone have any idea what effect these offshore wind farms will have on fisheries otherwise?

Meanwhile, countries like Japan and France have ran on nuclear energy for decades.

Until they make an affordable nuclear powered car, it can't.  That battery operated stuff won't work here.
