Re: More Nuclear Power in MN??

Nuclear is the energy of the future, but we haven't built a new plant since 1976 due to the greenies whining about it, and probably three mile island, although I doubt anyone here is old enough to remember that. For all the press that it got, it actually wasn't bad in terms of actual problems, but it sure made the headlines for years.

Considering that your average cellphone now has more computing power than a 1970's supercomputer, I'd also guess that nuclear technology has improved exponentially since then. We need to shitcan the Sierra club and build some of these damn things, the dems will tax the shit of them, but we'll have clean, reliable and relatively inexpensive power and everybody will be happy. Windmills are a joke, they're great for some farmer htat has one, but trying to build reliable power grids around them has so far failed miserably.

I still think we should just shoot a rocket full of nuclear waste whenever it's needed at the sun, it'll disintegrate harmlessly and won't affect anyone ever again. Clean and simple.
