Nuclear plant battle threatens task force bill

I continue to be amazed at the completely irrational fears that environmentalist whackos have over nuclear power.  On the one hand they want us to reduce our "carbon footprint" and invest in clean energy technologies yet on the other hand they vilify and refuse to consider the greatest source of clean energy on the planet: nuclear power.  We have been improving the safety and efficiency of nuclear power for decades.  We have 20-something year old sailors who are safely maintaining MOBILE nuclear reactors in our submarines and ships all over the world.  Hell, we're letting the crazies in Iran and North Korea build nuclear reactors right now.  Why on Earth are we blocked from building STATIONARY nuclear power plants in our state to help transition away from coal?

I suspect these whackos aren't crazy at all.  I believe that they are simply caught in a lie.  The lie is that their agenda is to "save the planet" when in reality their agenda is to destroy the capitalist system.  They know that if they can eliminate our energy consumption it will have a dramatic impact on our farms, factories, and capitalist economy in general.  That is their real agenda but they hide it in flowery terms like "saving the planet" and "focusing on green jobs." These environmentalist zealots want to destroy our modern culture and return us to an agrarian society.  That is their endgame but they'll continue to contradict themselves in order to hide that truth from the public and even from themselves.

State lawmakers preparing global warming legislation are feeling the fallout from a clean energy coalition’s opposition to a nuclear power plant bill.

State Rep. Jim Soletski, D-Green Bay, is one of four lawmakers developing the global warming legislation based on recommendations made last year by the Governor’s Task Force on Global Warming. The task force recommended easing state restrictions on construction of nuclear power plants.

The task force included representatives from the Wisconsin Citizens Utility Board, Sierra Club Wisconsin and Clean Wisconsin Inc. But those same groups on Tuesday stood with the Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free Wisconsin Coalition in opposition to lifting the state’s restrictions on nuclear development.

“To be honest with you, I’m still very upset about it,” Soletski said. “It’s hard to deal with some people when they appear to me to be working against the discussion we’ve had about working toward safe, reliable energy in Wisconsin.

“I feel like I can’t trust them.”

You can't trust them, representative Soletski, they are nutbags but you invited them into your Democrat Party and now you must live with the consequences.
