Nuclear power is the cleanest and most efficient energy. From Daniel Turner at realclearwire.com:
The Biden Administration spent hundreds of billions of dollars to push renewables, and the result was a 30% increase in national utility prices. And yet, despite producing, (intermittent and expensive) electricity, no amount of wind and solar can make rubber or plastic or the millions of products we use, nor can they forge steel or produce cement. Yes, we need more electricity, but the Biden team was determined to be anti-fossil fuels in their push for more electricity, why was nuclear technology left out of the conversation?
There is no imminent replacement for fossil fuels in the production of petrochemical products, but for electricity needs, America stands on the brink of a nuclear energy revolution. Advanced nuclear technology and small modular reactors (SMRs) are proving to be game changers.
Similar to the war on coal and the ongoing attacks on oil and gas, nuclear has the same set of radical activists looking to thwart America’s advancement. President Obama’s former Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman Gregory Jaczko, famously anti-nuclear, at a recent CERAweek conference, was presented as an objective expert on these future technologies, like having a beef panel moderated by vegans.
As NRC Chairman, Jaczko made it his mission to shut down nuclear innovation at every turn. He voted against opening any new nuclear power plants and famously went so far as to call for a global ban on nuclear power. It is frustrating enough Jaczko had the power to curtail nuclear power in America. Giving him a platform to continue to promote his extreme views is baffling.
