This CNBC article is reasonably accurate, but in reading it again I wondered who, besides a handful of systems engineers and others who understand how power grids work, could spot the absolutely ridiculous lies that are parroted millions of times over as truth?
Well it used to be the UCS that would go to every congressional hearing and NRC meeting and nobody from the pro side even bothered showing up. That is not true anymore, which is a major part of why the tide is turning. Same issue with legacy media- they always have a UCS person on speed dial to “give time” to the “other perspective” but this is becoming more and more ridiculous and even normies are changing their minds.
The anti nukes won’t go down without a fight, but they WILL LOSE in the end because truth and reality is not on their side.
Nailed it. Again. The timeless Ayn Rand quote comes to mind once again: When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.
-From Atlas Shrugged
We have situated ourselves in an absurdly juxtaposed begging posture: in order to solve problems we must seek permission from people who've never solved problems. And if that weren't enough - most of them aren't even aware of the problems that need solving.

What the power systems engineer said in his or her quote is spot-on.
Amazingly spot-on. Frustratingly spot-on.
"Union of Concerned Scientists" is immensely Orwellian too when you think about it.
