« Pressure from Andrew Cuomo, New York’s then governor, and Bernie Sanders – the senator called Indian Point a “catastrophe waiting to happen” – led to a phased closure [of Indian Point] announced in 2017, with the two remaining reactors shutting in 2020 and 2021. »
And Bernie Sanders helped to shut it down. First he gave the USians Donald Trump, then he helped to shut down a viable #nuclear power plant.
There is a reason why I no longer align myself with the Left or the "Progressives". They are such destructive fools, exactly because of their high-flying "good intentions" (Remember Ivan Illich on "good intentions"?)
