Isn’t there a thing where they think that the US wasn’t founded in 1776 and there’s some alternate nation and we know because the flag has gold trim? Idk, something like that

So… to summarize the argument: we have to build nuclear plants, even though they are the most expensive renewable per kWh and they take the longest amount of time to build (even by the author’s “fast” timeline standards) because we don’t have batteries that can store wind and solar energy, even though there are multiple emerging potential solutions that could result in days-long storage capacity.

Not buying it. I don’t buy the “unsafe” argument but I also don’t buy this argument

Edit: this same publication that published this op-ed published a pretty negative review of this book, funny enough: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jun/02/going-nuclear-by-tim-gregory-review-a-boosterish-case-for-atomic-energy

I can stand up for what I believe in. Does that mean I should be written about in a major news outlet?

Weird, I was listening to them on Spotify a couple weeks ago.

No offense, but they aren’t exactly a big deal. Unless you’re super into the 90s/00s noise rock scene ig

Well no, the issue is the kids being exempt from reading them as part of a lesson or from being read to during story-time. They aren’t saying the books must be physically removed.
