He lobbied hard for Ohio HB6, which gave millions to the nuclear industry he supports and lobbies for.

It is also the bill that got millions of money flowing to the Ohio Speaker of the House, causing his indictment.
The energy company pled guilty.

Kind of like the Dems relying on a Puerto Rican bartender for their green energy policy.Quote:

It's hot, it's cold, greenland ain't melting, NASA is full of shit.
So, is he wrong about the need for more nuclear energy?Quote:

They're not particularly difficult challenges (absent NIMBYism). And no other zero carbon energy source works on a large enough scale.
Hah! We're way past that point in SC, with units closing down before starting...and of course the Savannah River site challenges.

Well, here in the US we have two ideal locations for permanent disposal of nuclear waste (Yucca Mountain and NTS). I’ll add that the amount of nuclear waste generated for power production is a tiny fraction of that generates by coal. Problem solved.Quote:
