Nuclear waste is the best kind of waste. All of it ever produced can fit on a single football field. It never hurts anyone & never will. It will be recycled in future reactors

Nice to see stridently anti-nuclear @SenatorReid acknowledge that it is safe where it is!

By contrast, solar produces 200-300x more waste than nuclear plants

And all of these solar panels will go to the landfill since it’s not economical to recycle them:

Everything they say about renewables is wrong. They

- worsen poverty & inequality

- send our wealth to China

- destroy the environment

If Biden cared about jobs, national security & climate change he would fight for a Green Nuclear Deal!

Friends!

I am happy to report exciting news!

- We have promoted Zion Lights @ziontree to Europe Director of Environmental Progress!

- We are proud to help @Madi_Czerwinski launch her Campaign for a Green Nuclear Deal!

environmentalprogress.org/big-news/2020/…
Zion joined EP in June to campaign for the construction of two new full-sized reactors at Sizewell in Britain.

Her work shifted the narrative around nuclear in the UK and made the case to lawmakers in the country’s leading newspapers.

Massive pro-nuclear victory!!

BBC reports that the British government will give the green light to build two new reactors at Sizewell!

This is a huge victory for Environmental Progress & in particular @ziontree our Europe Director

Please share!

@ziontree I met Zion last year when she was spokesperson for radical UK climate group, Extinction Rebellion

When it became clear Sizewell was the most important nuclear project in the world, I reached out to her, and ended up hiring her, a story I describe here.

@ziontree Zion campaigned relentlessly for Sizewell, writing articles for Britain's largest newspapers, participating, appearing in public debates, and organizing a pro-nuclear swim protest in front of Sizewell to underscore the safety of nuclear

Solar farms require 300-400x more land than a nuclear or natural gas plant and produce 200-300 times more waste than nuclear plants

Remember that “apocalyptic” fire in northern California that forced people to flee their homes & was supposedly “caused” by climate change?

Not only was it perfectly natural, the Park Service now says it was just what the forest & spotted owls needed

sfchronicle.com/california-wil…
Quick! Somebody alert Facebook’s censors @ClimateFdbk to slap a warning label on that San Francisco Chronicle story for being “misleading” because it failed to mention that climate change has doomed our forests to the apocalypse!!!
@JohnStossel
All of this will come as a shock to East Coast journalists who are too scared to go camping but were absolutely certain climate change had burned down 2,000 year old redwood trees

Under Obama-Biden, “$15B went to energy efficiency, which turned out to be a massive waste of money. 2x as much money was spent weatherizing homes as was saved. The episode disproved the myth that efficiency investments always “pay for themselves.”

forbes.com/sites/michaels…
“Determined to learn nothing from history, Green New Dealers are now proposing to spend taxpayer dollars weatherizing every building in America.”
FWIW, this is not a left-right issue. Even @MotherJones reports, “the upfront cost of efficiency upgrades came to about $5,000 per house, on average. But their central estimate of the benefits only amounted to about $2,400 per household.”

"California is what American life will look like if the Green New Deal succeeds"

Only nuclear can replace fossil fuels at low-cost while creating millions of good jobs

Excellent new *progressive* case for nuclear by @dumbaristotle article @BellowsMag

thebellows.org/we-need-a-nucl…
"California's rolling blackouts this summer were caused by decades of costly and poorly planned decisions to replace nuclear and gas plants with solar and wind."

Terrific new video on California's renewable energy crisis by @TheAbridgedZach @reason

The movement for nuclear energy is growing!

- Dozens of bikers did "Ride for Reactors" in Illinois

- Dance for nuclear in South Africa

- Massive virtual pro-nuclear demo in Australia

- Hundreds in Holland, France, Canada!
