Fox News: still lying for republicans after all these years

I thought the problem was because of gay marriage?

I highly doubt FOX said that verbatim...everyone knows it was Texas' lack of regulations regarding insulation and hardened generators.

Indeed. Sometimes regulations exist for good reasons. Something the unhinged Right can't grasp.

lol...My state is one where even the Democrats are folks you would probably consider 'Right', and we get by just fine. Not sure what you mean, unless you're referring to Libertarians.

Use 90 percent Nuclear and do away with ALL wind and solar. Does not provide peak or base power so, Useless. New generation Inherently safe. All Wind and solar do is line corrupt peoples pockets like all Gore who made 100 million dollars and get people to believe in this crap!

And what do you do with the nuclear waste? Not to mention a wind turbine fails and you don’t have to evacuate a city for ever.

Put all the waste in one miniscule spot in a desert that is already designed for it. When technology is developed for reuse or it decays may have other uses. Nuclear medicine used everyday for cancer. New Nuclear designs 1/10th the size 1/3 of the power inherently safe by size and design. Or do you want to have swamp creatures like Gore fool you and make 100 million dollars?

Problem is the waste already stored there is started leaking. The containers can’t handle the radiation. One of our products is used to wrap nuclear power plant contaminated tools. They have been trying to work with us to find a better wrap as it only lasts for a couple of years. The radiation lasts for thousands.

Wind power has none of that risk. Solar still has an issue with what to do with older panels as of right now it isn’t recyclable. (We use to produce pv films too, but China owns that market now). But both create jobs that don’t require advanced degrees and super security.

Now if some day they discover a way to produce fusion or nuclear power without the waste, great! But right now the danger outweighs the benefits. (Plus I don’t trust the energy companies. Don’t have the greatest record of worrying about the environment)

So you trust al gore more? The waste can go in one place where it is safely contained. Eventually we will probably have fusion or Anti Matter Reactors. Nuclear power is not made with bomb grade uranium. I had to take a MMPI test to even work at a nuclear plant, have a NRRPT certificate and go through a back ground check which is what people need to do. the Yucca Mountain facility has not been opened yet. Yes some containers are not good but now they have HIC's that have no Problems that i have been aware of. HIC High Integrity containers. So why make the poor pay triple and suffer. Their children suffer when one spot in a desert is all that is neede to put waste for 330 Million US Citizens. Only thing I think is that swamp creatures on both sides demonize this so energy that does not work just to line their pockets is used.

Why is Al Gore even in this thread? You keep bringing him up, I don’t. And you work in nuclear plants? Maybe you are just a little biased because of it?

Green energy works and keeps getter better without the environmental impact. It’s creating jobs too.

Years ago before the guy who started Garfield did political cartoons and sent a sample of his work to my dad to see if he would use it in his newspaper. One of the cartoons (mind you this was late 70’s) was a fat cat suit with a smug face. He said the following.

“ You want oil? We own the fields. You want coal? We own the mines. You want nuclear? We own the plants. You want solar? We ow....solar isn’t visible!”

Today? I have two solar farms within 2 miles of my land and we have just begun talking to our energy provider about putting a windmill at the top of my property. It abuts the right away for the power lines and they already have a road.

I tag him because he made 100 million off this fraud. I use to work at a nuclear plant. People working in Nuclear Medicine get far more radiation than a nuclear power plant. An Irridium 192 source used to treat cancer 1 millimeter by 5 millimeters capsule will kill a person in 2 minutes. Are you against this. That is waste also. Are you against Positron Emmission Tomography? That is where Medical workers get the most dose? Why wind and solar when they fail in the most 2 important needs for power? Base load or Peak Load. Why pay triple like in Germany and California than someone in Tennessee where the last time I checked was 39 Percent Nuclear and only 4 percent wind and solar? Just throwig out some facts. Suprised this has not been taken down by A politics 2 mod.

Nice deflection, learn that from the politics stream?

Anyway you are close minded and I while I tried (thank you for being civil) I can’t see further communication with being anything, but a waste of both of our times. Tah
