Don't you think it's a national security concern that China is producing such a large amount of solar

and has dedicated such a large amount of their energy production to solar production specifically?

If you wiped all the solar panels off the planet tomorrow, like no one would notice.

If all of the solar was zeroed out tomorrow, the world would lose 1.2% of energy, but it's energy

that's not dispatchable, it's not reliably.

No one would notice.

It wouldn't even be a hiccup.

Do you think nuclear was unfairly maligned?

Oh, absolutely.

It's so much easier to sell fear than to sell reassurance.

It's the climate change movement and the overhyping of climate change

that has brought your generation and younger into be pro-nuclear.

But I truly believe we will launch the nuclear renaissance during this administration.
