I’m all for clean energy but it should be converted as the old system hits end of life.
I’d rather see the United States invest in more nuclear power. It’s a clean solution to all it energy needs.
I also wish democrats would stop focusing on things like gas stoves. Jesus that is stupid. Gas is superior for cooking.
We don't have time for that unfortunately. We are way behind pace for transitioning to clean sources (including nuclear).
The culture only thinks that gas is better because fossil fuel companies saw the writing on the wall and wanted to get yet another foot in the door. So they started a massive campaign advertisement campaign to make people think it's better. If people ran gas lines to their houses, the chances of them using gas to heat their homes increased, making money for the fossil fuel industry.
I've cooked on both, they're not any different cooking wise tbh.
And democrats aren't really focusing on it. It's a side issue at most. I've seen maybe 4 articles on it from leftist subs in the last few years.
But the argument to get rid of them is there, because they are terrible for home air quality. My girlfriend has asthma and it is such a fucking life saver to be able to use an electric one without killing her. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels is a good side benefit as well.
Eugene which is south of me is banning new gas stoves. To me it myopic to focus on gas stoves.
I love hydroelectric but it’s does cause other problems. Salmon stocks have declined because of the dams. Salmon ladders don’t really work. I’d love to use hydro but we can destroy our environment doing it.
Everyone is skittish about nuclear but it’s the best source for clean energy. It’s very safe if it’s done correctly. Chernobyl was a product of communism.
No, Chernobyl was a result of bad engineering. And bad engineering can happen regardless of your chosen economic system.
A capitalist system would never cut corners on safety measures.
I sincerely hope this is sarcasm. I legitimately cannot tell around a place like this.
Three Mile Island is a sign of success. There was very little damage outside of the reactor. It could have been much worse and we have 40 years of reactor experience behind us. We have successfully run hundreds of reactors in our Naval Fleet with no major issues. To me that is validation nuclear is the way to go.

Here is some Oregon history for you, Oregon use to have many canneries in Astoria and other parts of Oregon. The Salmon were plentiful and it provided a fish for all the canneries.
Between overfishing and the dams, there are now zero canneries in Oregon. Bumble Bee Food started in Oregon canning Salmon.
The reactor didn’t melt down. There was a partial meltdown but nothing on a large scale.
You use such weird language when you write. Have you ever thought about writing like an adult? Chernobyl very much was a product of communism.
Partial meltdown. Proof of the safety of the design.
I am not sure the point you are trying to make.

No deaths. No injuries. No damage to the environment.
It shows the safety of nuclear power.
and?
It was a partial meltdown. It wasn't a full meltdown. It was an event like Chernobyl.
Most people when they talk about meltdowns are talking about nuclear disasters and full meltdowns. They’re not taking about a partial meltdown.
You seem to struggle with words and the meanings of them. You’re so focused on being “right” that you just look foolish.
Do you disagree that three mile island is a success of our nuclear program? Or you just going to circle jerk in the corner for no apparent reason ?
The government document list it as a partial meltdown. That’s the official term being used.
I didn’t use an ad hominem. You seem to struggle with words. I used the term the government used and try to use it as an attack towards me. You now can’t stay on topic and can’t focus on the touch.
Do you disagree that three Mile was a success?
Partial meltdown. It’s in the cite I supplied.
I haven’t lost my temper. I’m just baffled by your behavior.
I’ll ask for at least the third time.
Do you see three Mile island as a success of the safety of our nuclear power ?
You’re acting in bad faith and trolling again. You refuse to stay on topic and want to circle jerking some imaginary victory instead of having a discussion.
You refuse to answer the question and instead what troll. Have a good day.
Warning: Rule 3
Pre-emptively characterizing future responses as sexual harassment is textbook bad faith.
Also, you both should've stopped a long time ago. Or, if you insisted on continuing, should've clarified the terms of discussion, which clearly revolved around what "meltdown" meant.
