Comment Wyden is a coward who necessitated Snowden (Score -1) 54

Wyden spoke for years around the edges about unconstitutional spying. He had absolute immunity from prosecution for anything he said on the Senate floor, but was too cowardly to do what Snowden (still threatened with prison for life) did on laying out the depths of government spying. Wyden is a useless shitlib just like Bernie.

It's called respect for the source material. M Knight Shalaman's Avatar is on my lifetime boycott list because he whitewashed all the protagonists. Tolkien's elves were white AF and should stay that way. Not hard to understand as it's northern European fantasy. Race swapping half the cast as out of place as a sub-Saharan fantasy being half caucausian.

I'm not "trying to make it happen"

Half your posts say otherwise.

We will likely see three recently shuttered nuclear power plants reopen in the next four years.

IOW the most expensive, least reliable and most dangerous to operate.

Germany appears to be reversing their plan to abandon nuclear power.

A plurality of German power has come from solar for many years now despite getting the same amount of sunlight as Alaska. What Germany wasn't ready for was having the Nordstream pipelines blown, which they owned 49% of, cutting off their main LNG supplier.

Australia wants nuclear power.

You mean one opposition leader. Opposition, not the PM.

I believe it will not be as easily stopped as it was in the 1980s

The USG doesn't give the tiniest, greenest little shit about what it's own people want, much less the rest of the world. Yet new nuclear plants aren't going up in our thousand military bases around the world, despite the US Navy arguably having the best safety record on the planet. Almost like radioactive water heaters making fuel for nuclear weapons isn't an economically justifiable proposal.

Laughing at the denialism in Chernobyl and Fukushima. Yeah, there's a reason why you want to be careful where and how your radioactive water heaters are constructed. All it took was one big disaster to nuke the case for nuclear power, and you've had two. It's already cost over $200 billion for Fukushima cleanup, with long term costs estimated over a trillion. That will build you one or two solar panels.
