So stupid, Nuclear energy is the cleanest form of energy. Just stash the waste in old underground mines hundreds of meters under the water tables ans seal them.

I dint understand why oregon is that afraid of nuke……like we have all of eastern oregon where i live……if the west side is so scared put it out here somewhere and call it a day cheap reliable and Hanford is at most 8 hours from anywhere in the state

Illinois just recently lifted the moratorium, and in fact the governor is talking about building another one. Over half of the state’s power already comes from Nuclear, and Illinois is one of the most pro-nuclear states in the country.

They wanted to close the nuclear plant running in CA for no good reason, but couldn’t after they were informed it would cause rolling black outs

Wisconsin is trying to get a new one approved to be built to replace one that was decommissioned about 10 years ago

Why do so many blue states hate nuclear power?

The fact that nuclear power is not wide spread and still to this day so villainized despite abundant evidence of it being safe is possibly one of the dumbest and most self defeating things we as a species have done. We discover something that could give us as much abundant and clean power as we need and a handful of accidents brought on by easily preventable mismanagement ruin it. Yet we continue to burn fossil fuels which are not only destroying the whole planet, but also cause more preventable deaths in a single day than in the whole history of nuclear power.

I’m my work I service 3 coal plants and 1 nuclear. You can eat off the floor of the nuke plant. I wouldn’t eat in the parking lot in my car of the coal plants.

Wow… I wonder why West Virginia banned nuclear power plants from being built. It’s definitely not the coal power plants and mines that come to schools every year to educate kids on how important coal is to the state…
God I loved west virginia when I lived there but the whole coal power thing sucked ass. The summer would be beautiful and then out of nowhere it was smoggy and the air smelled like chemicals…
Coal doesn’t even employ that many west virginians anymore, automation is replacing tjem

Minnesota bans new nuclear facilities, but we do have currently operating nuclear facilities.

Always found it funny California is scared of hot rocks, but don’t mind having atleast 2 reactors on Coronado, San Diego

What’s with the left’s vendetta against nuclear? I see people in green parties say this too. It’s reliable, produces minimal waste, and has very very few accidents.

someone from Maine here!
we actually used to have a nuclear power plant along our coast but it got shut down ages ago. our nuclear restriction is that any future plants have to be approved via a statewide referendum. not a total ban, but given our extremely divided political climate (ESPECIALLY in this state which is the purplest of purple) i doubt literally anything could pass on a referendum

I rather have nuclear reactors than a plethora of coal facilities. I think a lot of people think all nuclear reactors are just going to become Chernobyl. When in reality, nuclear reactors are one of the most engineered human inventions ever.

I would’ve expected Nevada to have one just because of the trauma caused by the other thing you can build with nuclear power.

It would appear that the environmentalists won this battle years ago, even though nuclear is probably one of the safest and most efficient forms of energy.
