Elon Musk calls for Europe to restart
its nuclear power stations: 'critical
to international security'

A very smart move, but the GreenCrazies will have none of it.

Of course, Musk’s advice will be summarily dismissed. The greenies’ god must not be angered. We must prostrate ourselves before her and seek forgiveness for such blasphemy. This is not the God and creator of the universe who commands man to have dominion over the earth and all living things. We are to be caretakers and preserve it. We are not to spoil it or destroy it. However, we have been guilty of not treating this earth as God intended and there is a price to be paid for that, but it is not to make unattainable goals and force countries to use an energy source that is not ready for prime time. I will believe these green zealots when they crack down on India and China for the environmental mess they have made in their respective countries and then when they curtail their blatant hypocrisy. Until then, get lost. They have lost all credibility, if they ever had any. Like most everything else in this troubled world greed and lust for power and control drives this movement. If they were serious, these limousine climate Nazis would change their personal habits, but we know that foolishness is only for the great unwashed masses.

How about Elon Musk worry about OUR borders!! How about the drugs, the murders, the rapes, the trafficking, the gangs etc. that stream across OUR border... or what USED to be a border. The hell with Ukraine!! They're just as corrupt as the Biden crime family!! It's a distraction!!

There was a 1970s thriller, The China Syndrome, in which a Fonda answered a question about the effects of a meltdown - how big an area would be conmtaminated? The movie answer - anm area about as big as Pennsylvania. Then, in the real world, Pennsylvania had a core meltdown, at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Harrisburg. The movie and the event did more hARMR

A seemingly simple an maybe not as easy as it sounds idea that would work. Dependable, safe energy not from Russia.

Is there anyone left in Europe who still knows how to operate a nuclear power plant?

We need to reboot our own coal powered power plants that Biden has condemned.. My electric company has raised my rates by 31% while Biden screams to go electric. Nothing like paying premium to charge that electric car.

Yep, Elon. Let's roll. The green crowd aka the Great Reset crowd can always move to Mars and enjoy the cooler weather there.

Elon is our smartest African-American... listen to him!

Never was a fan of Musk...but...he seems to be making sense here...get away from the greenies who want all countries to use solar panels bought from china and the wind...when it blows...perhaps the Washington swamp...so full of hot air...could power the world's need for heat and electricity...

My computer seems to be set on AI this morning. If you consider the rule of threes, something my mother believed, bad things happen ion threes. In this case, the China Syndrome, Three Mile Island nuclear accident, and Chernobyl combined, set back the construction of nuclear power plants to this day. It didn't help when Jimmy Carter, who had extensive training in nuclear devices, didn't speak loudly in favor of nuclear. And Chernobyl was the icing on the radioactive cake. It will take DJT or his doppelganger to expand nuclear power plants. I look forward to the change of heart.

Hey that's cool Elon but use whatever influence you have to get our energy faucet turned back on full throttle. The "Green" movement is pure unhomogenized bull patties. It's a total sham designed for the sole purpose of masking our corrupt politicians quid quid pro deals cut with foreign producers of energy and beneficiaries of global wealth redistribution. Of course I don't discount the great passion that the useful idiots have, that's very real and comes from a good place in their hearts, it's just that their heads don't have the ability to direct where they invest their hearts.

Greeney politicians in our federal government and many state governments are taking us head-long into electricity brownouts and blackouts. People will die. The economy will be set back for years. If this insanity continues there will be years of irreparable shortages of thousands of by-products of petroleum. The administrators of these electricity producing corporations are far too silent regarding informing us of what's obviously coming sooner than later.

But Green ... Nuclear power is cheap, safe and reliable, therefore it should never be used.

The China Syndrome, a fictional piece of propaganda and not very well done, scared all of the hippies in the world into demonstrating against nuclear power and probably cost this country trillions of dollars. Fonda then cost the US Military lives by ratting out our soldiers and siding with her communist pals. The greenies of today still have her up on a throne and they are all still as nutty as fruitcakes.

Re #4. Excellent point. I happened to be visiting friends in Baltimore during the Three Mile ISland events. I predicted to friends that there was going to be a hydrogen-oxygen explosion inside the containment vessel if they didn't vent the gases about 12 hours before it happened. The actual small radiation releases were extremely small, and are greatly overrated as to actual danger to the public. At Fukishima, three of the earliest generation design reactors, with the simplest meltdown protections, far less capable than designs from later generations, melted down due to loss of power for pumping cooling water. NO radioactive leakage resulted from these reactor meltdowns. All the radiation that was released was from the spent fuel assemblies storage pools, which in all original reactor designs and operating plans were intended for TEMPORARY storage of these spent fuel rods until they cooled enough to be either reprocessed into new reactor fuel and used again, or stored in safe, permanent storage. That essentially ALL national governments have failed totally to actually create these long term storage repositories has forced operators to continue to store these fuel assemblies in dangerous, poorly protected TEMPORARY storage pools at the reactor sites for many decades. This was NEVER part of the safe 'nuclear fuel cycle', and is only the result of much GreenCrazy lobbying to shut down reprocessing of nuclear fuel for re-use, or permanent storage. The GreenCrazies bear the responsibility for the leak at Fukishima, although the severity is massively exaggerated by media and complicit, lying, incompetent Japanese nuclear officials. In reality, 95% of the evacuated "contaminated zone" in Japan around Fukishima was made as radioactive as .........Denver, Colorado is on any normal day. Denver has a lot of granite rock and therefore has a somewhat higher background radiation count than much of Japan because all granite (an EXTREMELY common rock) is slightly radioactive. That the fools and liars in Japan forced people to abandon their homes and businesses for a "dangerous radiation level" was nonsense, except in about a 5% portion of the area, where radiation levels were actually high enough to be worrisome, and the evacuation was actually necessary. Most nuclear policies are heavily impacted by lies, fraud and GreenCrazy anti-nuclear politics, even less truthful than the recent Dem-panic has been. And since most people know nothing about nuclear power or radiation, and don't/won't get educated about it, they are easily propagandized by the anti-nuclear GreenCrazies and the complicit media. And the movie mentioned, "The China Syndrome" was a pure propaganda piece, full of lies, exaggerations and intended to make people afraid of nuclear power. That traitor Jane Fonda was the lead should be indicator of the tenor of the propaganda piece. Fact: More people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than in civilian nuclear power accidents in the USA in the last 75 years. And, trivia question - How many people died as a result of the burning of pools of nuclear fuel rod assemblies and the total meltdown of three very old reactors in Japan? Answer: ZERO. Extra credit question: How many people were exposed to more radiation than the 'recommended safe annual dose' for reactor workers? Answer: ZERO, including the "suicide squad" who remained on site the whole time trying to stabilize the reactors and fuel assemblies. Even these workers did not exceed their safe annual dose level and all were safe and healthy afterwards. Most of what is reported about nuclear power accidents is lies, exaggerations and fraud.

The EuroPeeans are scared of a solution, it takes away their dictatorial powers.

IIRC, the Fukushima debacle was caused in large part because a designer put the diesel backup generators at ground level, thus they were disabled by the first part of the tidal wave process. Dumb move in Japan.

Re #18, not quite correct. Fukishima is a seaside location and diesel fuel delivery was via boat. The large main diesel fuel tanks were at the bottom of cliffs on a seaside quay. With those tanks feeding the diesel, they could rin for very long periods. Smaller, "ready use" tanks were on the top of the cliffs with the diesel generators and the reactors. The 45 ft, unprecedented, tsunami destroyed the large fuel tanks. Still, there was three days of fuel near the backup generators, and the emergency plan had a commitment by the power company to "guarantee " to provide off site emergency power within the three days of the ready tanks. It appears that no significant effort at all was made to deliver more fuel or lay an emergency power line to the plant in the three days to keep the reactor cooling pumps running. TOTAL incompetence on the part of the power company, who failed to follow their own emergency plan. They sat on their butts and let the diesel run out and three reactors to melt down....doing nothing to stop it.

Hey, Elon Go lay down by your gubmint dish !
