And they provide clean power.

So this is a very, very obvious thing that environmental groups should love.

But they were co-opted.

They were co-opted by external money that wanted the nuclear industry to fail and wants the United States to fail and wanted Europe to fail or become more dependent on other sources from our rivals.

And so I think that a lot of people just bought into that.

A lot of people

You know, there's always good people in any bad thing, and the good people just believed the narrative.

They believed that nuclear was unsafe, and they believed that, you know, nuclear waste was a huge problem.

Neither of those things are true.

Nuclear waste is not a huge problem, and nuclear reactors are the safest form of power generation on Earth, full stop.

Just like they did in Europe.

Yes.

The Sierra Club.

If any members of Congress want to start some investigations, I would start by looking at the Sierra Club and the advocacy that they did against nuclear, especially around environmental law.

They figured out how to essentially shut down nuclear by suing over safety regulations and environmental policy to prevent nuclear projects from happening.

And obviously, mass sort of social advocacy against nuclear.

And I believe that they had significant foreign funding to push those narratives.

Yeah, so this is an interesting one, right?

Let's talk about why regulations exist and what the good case for regulation is, right?

So nuclear has the potential to cause harm to humans in the environment if it's done wrong.
