Seems like fewer, but larger, nuclear reactors would be more efficient but YOLO. In any case, the USA currently has fewer than 100 (96 in March) nuclear reactors operating so this literally a proposed 5x increase in nuclear reactors. On public land. For a bubble.

one area where i will actually concede messaging is hard for the dems (if they try) is the gop's actions are so inconceivably evil they sound totally made up. "we're trying to make it easier to pollute poor neighborhoods. we're pushing so kids get exposed to more lead."

Elon Musk spent $278 MILLION buying the 2024 election. That is FOUR TIMES what he paid in federal income taxes between 2013 and 2018. The richest 1% are set to pocket $1 TRILLION in tax breaks this decade. While Musk's SpaceX launches rockets, working families get stuck with the bill.

Contrary to the bullshit assertions at the Transportation Dept. website announcing the rollback of the Biden car efficiency rule (that would’ve boosted average mileage to 50 mpg by 2050), that rule isn‘t “illegal” and didn’t mandate that everyone buy EVs. www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo...

I have been saying this since 2012 when Crump inserted himself into the Trayvon/Zimmerman case: Crump is sketchy as fuck, and far more of a carnival barker than competent attorney. What you are seeing in the Wells' case simply confirms all of that.

If Crump wants to keep interviewing witnesses and looking for answers, that's great. But he needs to stop rehashing specious evidence that's presented only to smear people who have been exonerated.
