Bad title. An entire army division (10,000 to 20,000) surrendering would be a spectacular event. Turns out the article is talking about "some (~180) soldiers from a division", which is totally not the same thing.

Let's not nickel-and-dime the green transition. Nuclear energy has a role to play, and so do renewables. The most urgent thing now is to get as much electricity generation off fossil fuels as possible. Building nuclear power plants is an important part of this, especially in countries like China and India which would otherwise default to burning coal.

Nuclear fusion isn't the solution to the climate crisis. It's decades away, if it ever happens; the climate crisis is something we're having to tackle now.

If Haley is next up, I think Biden will have big problems winning. But there's little chance of the SC upholding this decision.
