It’s worth noting that he also fired many of the staff who know how to ensure that they’re actually safe, as well as the staff who would approve financing.

      Let me elaborate. I think nuclear power is a great option, but not if you’ve removed real scientists and proper engineers. Trump doesn’t like scientists and engineers. Or anyone really, that doesn’t agree with him.

        Nuclear power is the safest, cheapest and cleanest only because we have learned so many painful mistakes and that every new reactor is built with only safety in mind.
