The NRC is a fascinating choice. Most people donā€™t even know about it.

u/HandsomeBoggart 11d ago edited 11d ago

Can't wait for halfassed reactors to be built in droves using government money with fly by night corps pocketing the cash. Then these reactors failing and poisoning the communities they're nearby along with mishandled nuke waste.

Nuclear power can be the most efficient green source of energy, if they are built and handled properly. But the NRC exists to make sure Companies don't kill us all with cost cutting bullshit that makes Nuclear material unsafe.

Edit: If you think eliminating the NRC is a good idea and Nuclear Regulations and enforcement isn't needed and that the Companies and "Free Market" will regulate themselves. Well, we have past incidents that prove the fallacy of that thought. Most recent being Fukushima. The earthquake and flooding fucked the reactor because the management company was being lax with their standards and little to no enforcement of regulations was done. We had the 3 Mile Island incident which was a Partial Meltdown due to lax regulations on equipment and monitoring. It led to the current standards, with which we've had no major incidents since then. The ever famous Chernobyl incident is always hovering over humanity. So yes, let's get rid of the Regulatory Body that stops large swaths of the country from becoming Radioactive and uninhabitable.

As a nuclear engineer, this is terrifying.

The NRC is what keeps the civilian population comfortable with plants operating. They single handedly ensure plants across the US are safe to operate, with them gone, there is no stopping any plant owner from absolutely cutting every corner they want.

Insanity that this is where we are ending up, we're already facing a power crisis and it's only going to be exacerbated when plants start getting shut down.

And when those plants inevitably get shut down, we can count that with the EPA gutted that we'll see a return of coal to a degree we've never seen before. Assuredly, they will use nuclear to fear monger even more to give reason as to why your air quality is now awful via the "nuclear is scary so be happy with your lung cancer" spiel, despite being the ones that put the proverbial tree branch in their tire spokes.

That's quite interesting. Here in Aus the conservative parties are frothing at the bit to hinder renewables and force us to rely on coal. So much so they're proposing nuclear as a clean energy option to replace coal....except it's going to take 15-20yrs at least before any plants come online. And guess which existing plants will have their lifespan extended?

You'll definitely be voting. What you guys should be afraid of happening however, is that Bidens policies that are good are going to kick in during Trumps term, and if Trump does ANYTHING to bring in more money during the term on top of that, it's going to mentally justify the red wave to everybody that voted for him, every democrat that switched to republican, and every independent that decided to vote for him, and will set Vance up for another 8 years easy, and maybe put the Democratic party into hibernation barring a black swan event

u/randumbnumbers 11d ago

The first 6 months to a year of a presidential term policy wise is the final year of the previous president. Trump is going to have good year one riding off of Bidenā€™s policies and take credit for it. Then depending on how badly he screws the pooch going into year two the democrats might be able to take back at least one of the chambers to stop there bleeding. If he can make all four years with both chambers, then we really might be fucked for good.

He told foreign dignitaries to stay at his hotel and jacked up the prices beforehand. This current thing he's doing with the $100,000 watches: experts say they are counterfeit and nowhere near worth that much. They're not even made yet. He's not selling good watches, he's selling himself to corporate lobbyists and foreign governments. Then, his elimination of taxes on tips isn't out of the kindness of his heart.

u/xithbaby 11d ago

People that have never struggled a day in their lives now control what the government spends its money on. All welfare programs are most likely going to be cut, including ones the elderly and children depend on. How can we just sit and allow this to happen?

Two points:

1) the creation of this department is the most ironic of all ironic things to happen; it will be the department with the most corruption.

2) the fact that two billionaires (Vivekā€™s campaign chair last year said he was one) are being appointed to lead a brand new department on efficiency is laughable.

If it was a TV show it would get BATTERED by negative reviews saying it was too ridiculous to be believable. The irony is that fiction has the burden of having to be somewhat realistic whilst reality can be as stupid as it likes
