We quadruple the amount of volunteers they can get.
We also train and we help in many ways besides just giving money.
At our last PAC board meeting, we had a presentation from experts on data centers.
They can be less destructive.
They can be run on alternative energy.
which, of course, the Trump administration is opposing.
But we decided as a board to now we not only won't support anybody that's in favor of expanding fossil fuels, but we don't support people that are in favor of data centers anymore.
Or SMRs, small modular reactors.
I've done quite a bit of research into these.
They're being touted as this is the solution to climate.
They take just as long to build, which means that we go beyond the red line for climate.
You know, 10 years, 20 years is too late.
That's how long it takes for them to get online, even the small ones.
Another really bad thing is the radioactive waste from SMRs is different chemically than from a traditional reactor.
It's exotic chemicals.
They can't be mixed together.
So now we're talking about we haven't even solved the problem of the traditional waste.
Now we have a whole new set of radioactive waste that we have to try to figure out.
Also, you know, the use of water and the amount of money it costs, which taxpayers, this is, I didn't realize it, taxpayers end up paying the bulk of the costs of nuclear reactors, even if they never go online.
So it's SMRs, it's data centers, and it's fossil fuels.
