When we were coming up through the ranks, if you had seven to eight kids, which is a lot of kids, you would need an income probably of $70,000 to $80,000. Both parents would have to be working to maintain those families. In that bracket, you would be paying an effective rate of 58 percent on your income tax. And another FICA tax on top of that works out to be an effective rate of 73 percent on the additional earnings.

There's never been a death at a nuclear power plant as a result of a reactor accident in the United States.

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.
If all the nuclear power plants were closed in this country, it's the equivalent of adding 115 million cars to the road.
