    Nope, we will be burning the fossil fuels the whole time the nuclear plant is being built.

    That’s why fossil fuel giants and right wingers are banking on nuclear, because it’ll be a free pass to burn burn burn.

      Nuclear plants wouldn’t take so long to build if people stopped trying to sue and protest their construction and sabotage it with all the red tape. If permits were approved and certified tomorrow a new plant could be operational in 10 years. 5 if it was actually funded and supported. Building the plant is easy, its cuttinf through the red tape encouraged by the oil lobby that is takes decades

            But what if one of those stray radio nucleides corrupts my potential grand grand grand grand children 500 years down the line? What say you of your safety margins then?. (Dies of coughing due to coal Ash)
