We have at least a 20% loss of the corn crop, over 1000 counties in the US are declared disaster areas because of drought. And you state the 'warmists' are losing? No, we are all losing. This is the third year in a row that there have been major crop losses in one or more of the world's bread baskets because of a changing climate. At some point, the losses will be bad enough that even in the wealthy nations, there will be hunger because of them.
If we all got rid of our cars, it would rain. Obviously.
I'd be willing to build 100 new nuke plants in the US.
Let's start today. For the children! And the corn.
The need is probably in excess of 500 by the middle of the century, but I'd be willing to support that effort if we can establish a stringent set of design and operational regulations and guidelines. If industry doesn't want to invest and participate, I'd still advocate for their construction and operation under Corps of Engineers/DARPA and DoE control and management.
I'd be happy if our NRC -- which has I GUESS been sitting on its' ass for years now -- would sponsor a site where we could TEST AND CERTIFY just the top 2 or 3 designs. All in one place. All built in 3 years. Test the HELL out of them. Try to melt them if you want. Then certify them all in 5 years or less.
Once certified, send the clowns back to D.C. and expedite approvals for any new reactor built exactly to those plans.. Don't NEED the FEDs to build them or run them.. Just get the approval done and get out of the way.
