Yeah, yeah. I'm sure those will be built around the same time that the stupid nuclear submarines they're so proud about turn up: the 12th of never.
The RWNJs hate renewables so, so very much that they simply can't help indulging in these bizarre fantasies.
It's all about putting off the end of fossil fuels, at the end of the day. Nothing more than that.
Whoops! When even the legacy coal-powered electricity industry doesn't want to invest in nuclear over renewables - which they are eagerly investing in now, to be fair - you'd normally predict that the right-wingers would back down.
However, modern "conservatives" can't back down on anything. It's as impossible for them to admit that they're out of touch with reality as it is to admit that experts and facts exist.
@DyDave And yet, this battle is still ongoing.

I wish the ranchers luck, but my dad worked in the oil business in Calgary in the 60s, and he would occasionally joke about them having the best politicians money can buy out there...

Yeah, even though I moved out here 40-odd years ago, all my family is still in Canada, so I keep an eye on the goings-on there. Alberta Tories and guys like Doug Ford and Poilievre and their mates are shockingly awful. Sadly, just like our formerly centre-right, they've all swung right out there these days as the Overton window keeps shifting 🤷♂️.
