Perhaps one of the DUMBEST tone deaf op-eds written for a bit. Claiming that adding nuclear power sources to strained power grids while ignoring the dismantling of existing renewable energy sources is just DUMB.

We are never going back to the way it was. Too much has happened. Too many unnamed, faithful public servants, service members and, above all, fellow citizens and good-willed neighbors permanently harmed. Fascism has to be denounced and delegitimized. Until it is, the fight must continue.
