It's just pure physics.
It emits no carbon.
It emits no particulates.
The only thing that you have to deal with after running a nuclear reactor is incredibly, incredibly small, safe pellets that you encase into concrete casks.
And they have no effect on the environment at all.
So there's basically no impact to the environment.
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.
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.
