Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

We quadruple the amount of volunteers they can get.

We also train and we help in many ways besides just giving money.

Pivot

At our last PAC board meeting, we had a presentation from experts on data centers.

Pivot

They can be less destructive.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

They can be run on alternative energy.

Pivot

which, of course, the Trump administration is opposing.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

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.

Pivot

Or SMRs, small modular reactors.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

I've done quite a bit of research into these.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

They're being touted as this is the solution to climate.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

They take just as long to build, which means that we go beyond the red line for climate.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

You know, 10 years, 20 years is too late.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

That's how long it takes for them to get online, even the small ones.

Pivot

Another really bad thing is the radioactive waste from SMRs is different chemically than from a traditional reactor.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

It's exotic chemicals.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

They can't be mixed together.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

So now we're talking about we haven't even solved the problem of the traditional waste.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

Now we have a whole new set of radioactive waste that we have to try to figure out.

Pivot
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher

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.

Pivot

So it's SMRs, it's data centers, and it's fossil fuels.
