It’s great to see you back as your previous contributions are the primary reason I joined Substack, and I’ve shared them more times than I can count. Great comparison with that big beautiful bridge which never would have happened by Jigar's model.

Jigar’s interview leaves me with whiplash.

So many of his statements and comments are jaw-dropping in their irrationality. Of course we need a diversified grid, but diversified among the things that actually work and are efficient with regard to land use and other resources. To treat nuclear as if wind and solar are in the same universe is truly astounding, particularly from someone in such a position of influence.

Your previous sharing of and comments on John Pettimore’s contributions illustrate so clearly the outrageous environmental and humanitarian costs of these “clean” energies. Thank you for sharing this, and don’t be a stranger! We need your voice.

No matter what is said about why Nuclear is distained by so many, at the root is the Petro Dollar, the Worlds Reserve currency, and maybe not for long to be the worlds reserve currency either with BRICS seemingly poised to change that. Fossil Fuels as far back as 1948, at the very beginnings of the Atomic age, had pit bulls in congress lobbying for Fossil fuels, and to suppress Nuclear. So the biggest blockage to Nuclear, the best and safest known way to power the economies of the world, has always been the Petro Dollar in conjunction with US Government.
