Yes, absolutely. Kyle hill has many videos. One where he's kissing a barrel of nuclear waste. You have a very outdated idea of what modern nuclear energy is and I highly suggest actually clicking the link I provided.
It's funny how the people who rally the hardest against nuclear have no fucking idea what it is beyond the disasters.
Then go to your politicians and do. Talk is cheap.
I can't literally put them in my basement, Fred. They're in my state already and I support them existing. What do you want from me?
Apparently you're the minority. That's good.
Or maybe you are just wrong
So "That’s good" is a wrong statement? OK then.
No maybe your argument that people who advocate for nuclear power aren't the ones who scream loudly when a waste site is by their home is wrong.
I don't know who Fred is but I appreciate that you're in the minority that doesn't scream against storage locations. That's why I wrote "That’s good."
Called you Fred in place of friend or bud so it doesn't sound as condescending.
I misunderstood your comment then as "I'm glad you're in the minority of states/people who approve the use of nuclear material for reactors" rather than "I appreciate that you're in the minority of people who support nuclear and are comfortable being near storage locations."
Didn't expect the tone shift, so that one's on me.
The politicians who are owned by fossil fuel companies?
One person writing to their politician isn't worth the trash can space the letter will end up in. We need to have a majority of people supporting smart energy decisions, and that starts with telling people that their opinions on nuclear energy are 50 years out of date.
I have. I also offered to have a weed store move "nextdoor to me" since they kept on bringing it up during the debates years ago. Even sent them my address and the address of the empty building next door so they would know exactly where to put a legal dispensary.
It didn't happen but that might be for the best. Maybe I should have to walk a few minutes to get cannabis instead of walking nextdoor.
Now that I have fulfilled your requirements I am sure you will be retracting your statement....any time now.
