“The left just is continuing to the vilifying nuclear energy in the aftermath, still of the 1980s Chernobyl disaster, and we’re trying to push back. We’re trying to get the American public to better embrace the greatness of nuclear energy, which is, you know, [is] zero carbon emissions. It’s clean. It’s plentiful. It’s cheap. It’s reliable. It’s safe. Its baseload. And that’s part of the problem that I don’t understand with the left, the energy fanatic, or I’m sorry, the the environmental creationists.” — Patrick Brenner, president/co-founder of Southwest Public Policy Institute
