In reply to the discussion: Renewable Energy is Killing Nuclear Power No Hope for Nuclear [View all]joshcryer
(62,270 posts)40. Nuclear is rightly irrelevant.
The only will is the will not to export coal and the will to prioritize business with clean states.

We're fucked kristopher. We're fucking fucked.
Call me an alarmist. I don't give a fuck.
