Problem here is that most Warmists are 100% against nuclear https://t.co/MQ9FNptz91

Leftists, who make up the bulk of climate cultists, are against nuclear. They’re quite often against actually building solar, wind, and hydro projects.
U.S. ‘very bullish’ on new nuclear technology, Granholm says
In an interview at the U.N. Climate Change Conference, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm told Yahoo News on Friday that the Biden administration is “very bullish” on building new nuclear reactors in the United States.
“We are very bullish on these advanced nuclear reactors,” she said. “We have, in fact, invested a lot of money in the research and development of those. We are very supportive of that.”
Now try and build one. Nations like France have been using very modern nuclear power plants, the Left has been blocking the construction of new nuclear plants for decades, and even shuttering them.
Nuclear energy is controversial among environmental activists and experts because while it does not create the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change, it has the potential to trigger dangerous nuclear meltdowns and creates radioactive nuclear waste.
There’s been 28 incidents at nuclear plants over the years. Only a handful have been serious, the worst being, of course, Chernobyl. Out of 443 plants around the world. Since the late 1950’s. Most caused no loss of life. Meanwhile, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that between 140,000 and 500,000 bird deaths occur at wind farms each year.
Most of the Biden administration’s effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and almost all the rhetoric at the climate change conference, also known as COP26, is about promoting other clean forms of energy, such as wind and solar power.
But Granholm noted that wind and solar are not yet capable of generating “baseload” capacity, meaning power that can be reliably ramped up to meet demand even when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining.
Solar and wind might be viable in a couple hundred years. Or, we can just put solar panels over the entire nation, wiping out all land. Is there any money in Brandon’s infrastructure or “Build Back Better” bills for nuclear?
