I do not see how your budget does anything other than put us in a position where we get a Nation that our children cannot afford and that is not productive.

It makes no sense whatsoever, and it's apparently--certainly makes no sense for the same people to be urgently arguing to deal with climate change and then either quiet or urgently opposed to nuclear power.
There's never been a death at a nuclear power plant as a result of a reactor accident in the United States.
If all the nuclear power plants were closed in this country, it's the equivalent of adding 115 million cars to the road.
Without the 99 nuclear power plants that operate in 30 States, carbon emissions from the U.S. electric sector would be approximately 25 percent higher.
