Nuclear is the filthiest, most dangerous, most expensive, most subsidized method of boiling water ever invented.

I know. I live just a half hour from the newest dump for their waste, which all liability is taken by the state of Texas, while all the profits are taken by Harold Simmons. So the vampire waste being shipped from Washington State to here won't die and neither will the taxpayer dollars to bury it and rebury it.

Texas has 26% of all our electricity provided by wind now, and in two months when the new transmission lines are complete, and the mothballed generators are allowed to run, 50%. And done in less than 10 years.

We'd have been way ahead to have never built a single nuke plant, anywhere.
