Guess which state, guess which political party.
1. plan: closing Nuclear power plants.
2. plan: closing gas fired power plants.
3. plan: banning gas powered cars.
4. plan: won't give permits to mine minerals to make batteries for electric vehicles.
Reality: v**ers can't turn on a light or an air conditioner because of power blackouts.
Ignorance must really be bliss!!!!
1) Those nuclear power plants were not designed nor made for longevity
Remember Gov Pete Wilson? He took the money set aside for repairs and decommissioning-
declared it an asset, and sold the fund to a political ally at a wonderful discount.
2) The gas plants were designed in the age of cheap and plentiful fuel. Guess what?
3) NOT banning gas cars, just new ones after a certain year.
Manufacturers refuse to make vehicles with extended longevity. The infra structure for f****l f**ls
is aging, leaking and contaminating the air and water supply- and no one is liable. We will have less
old tanker trucks spewing fumes and fuel over our roads. Seen the videos of these things in accidents?
4) The Corps doing the mining have a history of disappearing leaving us with pools of mercury,
mountains of tailings, and huge swaths of natural beauty converted to poisonous wastelands.
Maybe it seems natural to you.
Many years of being Philly's toilet.
Decades of being NYC's trashcan.
And a tradition of being the place to dump chemical waste.
Spare us.
