...by making it more dependent on dangerous fossil fuels.
I'm not a shit for brains who's about to abandon my country, and by extension, the world by idiot platitudes like, "move to China."
However this said, only a xenophobic moron like the one in the White House believes that Americans can't learn from the success of other cultures.
I personally know a large number of Chinese born scientists who came here to learn from us, some who stayed, and some who went back.
They profited by the exchange.
Now if there are people who are too stupid to understand that, and to learn from it, there's nothing I can do about it, but willful optimist that I am, I know that despite the general popularity of ignorance, smart and reasonable people exist right here in America, if not in the present company, then elsewhere.
I'm not about to leave my country because there are so many ignoramuses in it who hate the science developed here by a wide array of Nobel Laureates and prominent scientists in the middle of the 20th century, that science being um, nuclear science.
I am a scientist and I deplore the popular hatred of science and engineering on both far ends of the political spectrum, creationism and climate denial on the right, and anti-nuke, anti-GMO, anti-vaxing nonsense on the far left.
Nuclear was an American invention largely and if there are Americans who are too ignorant to understand what it can do, I'm not about to give this country to them, any more than I'm willing to surrender my country to Putin worshiping racists.
Nuclear energy is the last best hope of the human race and until I die I plan to fight to see that recognized. It is already too late for it to do what it might have done, but nothing else will do as much.
Seven million people will die this year from air pollution, and even if you don't give a shit, I do.
Have a nice day tomorrow.
