This is so wasteful!!
Each of those turbines has a huge tower, a generator at the top and three gigantic blades. All to get around 50% capacity factor for maybe 20 years.
Compare that to one AP300™ small modular reactor, that replaces around 20 of these turbines and easily exceeds 80% capacity factor with much less space used.

It's long past time to remove bans on new nuclear construction, especially in New England!
Which states do not have a ban on new nuclear energy plant construction?

Another video debunking a pack of Greenpeace lies. Do not give these zealots any of your money!

Robert Stone covered a lot of the objections to nuclear energy. Watching this talk and his movie are both recommended by me.

Welcome to the club. Nuclear energy is never compared fairly either.
Most people don't even know the fears they have about it come from outright lies.

It was a huge mistake that the USA never made use of the CANDU reactor design and the expertise available right across the border.
Every state building DC lines to Canada should be changing laws to allow building nuclear plants instead of buying electricity from those who did!

Many people believe they know things about "nuclear waste" but have never stopped to question where those ideas came from, or if they are even true.
This needs to change to actually solve our energy requirements and reduce carbon pollution in the atmosphere!

> [...] it’s no surprise that many Americans believe nuclear waste poses an enormous and terrifying threat. But after talking to engineers, radiation specialists and waste managers, I’ve come to see this misunderstanding is holding us back from embracing a powerful, clean energy source we need to tackle climate change.
