I mean, yeah obviously. I'm poking fun at them for talking a big game about climate and solar/wind while actually shifting base load energy back to coal.

Nuclear is far safer per kwh and takes up less land (Aesthetics).

Coal seems like they traded some cost savings and less nuclear outrage for less safety, higher CO2 out put, and the cost of looking like condescending hypocrites. But that's just like one man's opinion.




Just read up on that specific reactor, and yeah, what a dumb move closing it


Hopefully they have good scrubbers on that coal plant.
