re: Trump is making Nuclear Energy Great Again

Thanks OP

It is impressive...

I can't believe the turn-around we are seeing.

Massive Nuclear Buildout: The Department of Energy is providing loan guarantees to a coalition of six American utilities to construct up to 10 new Westinghouse nuclear reactors, each capable of producing over a gigawatt of electricity [13:39].

Direct Government Investment: Additionally, the Department of Commerce has agreements for another 10 massive gigawatt units. The government plans to develop these reactors directly and potentially transfer them to private ownership once built.

Workforce Mobilization: To support this scale of construction, the major firm Bechtel has partnered with building trades unions to modernize apprenticeships and recruit a new generation of high-skilled workers specifically trained for nuclear construction [15:30].

Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has launched an initiative to deploy Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) on American commercial shipping vessels, aiming to rebuild American maritime power for the 21st century [16:39].

Negative. You forgot how well the Republican Congress has worked with Trump and his 77.5 million voters to codify his MAGA agenda.

Oops my bad. You didn’t forget. Without a congressional agenda for the future and nothing to show for the past two years, republicans will lose Congress and let the investigations and impeachments begin.

So it’s all or nothing, eh? Either the government guarantees absolutely everything, or absolutely nothing. How about maintaining traffic control signals? That’s socialist bullshite as well? The act of managing, for example, intersections such that carloads of mommies with babies on board dont t-bone each other?

Or what about law enforcement agencies? The sound of it being socialist bullshite is too much to justify having an organization your grandmother can call when a bandits are trying to force their way into her home?

How about child advocacy centers where children are interviewed under very particular circumstances and conditions designed to protect them from further permanent damage, while still netting evidence to use in the effort to put the monster away?

And what’s more, just as this subject is far more nuanced than you’ve acknowledged thus far at least in this case, most other similar situations found at the center of vigorous debate are just as more so nuanced than perhaps one might similarly acknowledge.

have been advocating nuclear p'wer for a long time on here and other platforms. Its safe, its track record is second to none. It blows away the mickey mouse solar and wind boondoggles by miles.

Same. I hate people who oppose it because muh Chernobyl as if our plants and safety measures are anywhere as shitty as the communist Soviets

Just don’t build the plant on a fault line or where a hurricane is likely to hit on the coast and we should be fine. Tornadoes are non factors they build those plants like bomb shelters

Actually the permitting reform bill that’s about to pass has a clause to basically not allow future admins to stop already approved and funded projects… Dems want it because Trump stopped all their green scam projects

---

This can be good or bad. There should be a process allowed to kill bad projects or at least kill federal funding but allow them to proceed under private funding. Maybe set parameters that make projects eligible to kill such as not financially viable without subsidies after 5 years of operation or proof of major environmental damage and require a simple majority (no filibuster) in Congress to kill the funding.

hahahahaha

There would never be another nuclear plant ever built if you did that.

At scale and operation it’s much cheaper and cleaner than any other source.
