California could “do” more hydro if Newsome got off his lazy ass and allow the construction of dams which create reservoirs which creates hydrostatic pressure to spin turbine blades to create electricity. This is not complicated.

As for nukes, there should be dozens of mini-nukes all across the country. They come in real handy running desalination plants.

And more importantly redirect that water after generating electricity so that it can be used by Farmers and citizens, not just pissed away into the sea.

True, and that’s a given... except in California.

Wall Street gets Physics, Math, and Computer Science PhDs.
More money in Wall Street than being a lawyer.

Bill and Warren Buffett. It’s the same old crap with a different set of masters.

Didn’t we do that with captured V-2 rockets after WWII?

Because we just never learn the warnings from history.

The Natrium reactors are a great design. They use up nearly all the energy contained in Uranium and burns out the long lasting waste with neutron flux. They also can cool down thru natural circulation. You don’t need pumps working if you have some kind of issue.

It would be nice if California used the $1B given by Bidet for the “train to nowhere” to build a nuclear power plant. But Newscum would never do that.

I would bet that billion could also build an amazing desalination plant--ya know, cause CA needs water....

He and Buffett were just approved to build a hybrid Nuke plant in Wyoming. No coincidence.

I'll wager the Wyoming coal industry isn't happy about that.
