U.S. Pledge To Triple Global Nuclear Energy By 2050 (www.huffpost.com)

When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that's also very much part of American branding.

Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.

The fact this is even a point of contention stems from grifters in the Solar industry trying to grift as much money as possible. Solar is great and we need more of it, but they actively peddle misinformation to fool people into thinking solar is the best no matter what.

Do not fall for their bullshit. Do not be a useful idiot.
