One Night I saw Seven Large Explosions at the PG&E Power Plant. (It's Visible from my Living Room) I Emailed them Later to Ask if the Atomic Waste was Safe... They said it was Safe and the Explosions were Overloaded Transformers on the Other side of the Power Plant.

https://www.44feetproject.com/ Thirty-seven tons of commercial nuclear waste are stored on the inland coast of Humboldt Bay, California, in an underground storage vault called the Humboldt Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (HB ISFSI). Its location is vulnerable to three adjacent earthquake faults, encroaching sea level, potential tsunamis, and general erosion. Within 44 years, by 2065, Humboldt Bay is projected to experience 3.3 feet (1 meter) of sea-level rise, which will flood the low areas around the ISFSI during king tides, turning it into an island that will be increasingly vulnerable to wave erosion, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion. Under these projected future conditions, the site will be difficult to access for waste management, in an emergency, and for relocation.

Keeping uranium mining out of the Grand Canyon:

You’d think the Grand Canyon — the homeland of at least 11 Native American tribes and the crown jewel of our national park system — would be protected from uranium contamination. Think again.

Uranium mines and mining claims outside park boundaries threaten to pollute the most remarkable gorge in the world. We're working alongside many partners in support of regional tribes to permanently protect lands and waters surrounding Grand Canyon National Park from mining.


The Havasupai live deep within the canyon and rely on a spring-fed creek that runs through their village to drink, cook, and irrigate fields of corn and alfalfa, as well as other ceremonial and cultural uses. Worried that Canyon Mine could contaminate the water that flows underground and feeds the seeps and springs in their village, they have opposed uranium mining around the Grand Canyon since the 1980s.

Grand Canyon Uranium Mine Flood... OOPS!

Remember: The Vast Majority of Jobs Nuclear Power Creates are For Newspaper Writers That Say: "It's Great!" It's a Classic Example of Unemployed People That Can't Get a Job Designing or Building Nuclear Power Plants... So In a Frantic Search They Become Cheerleaders! Making Youtube Videos, Magazine Articles and Blogs... all about How Wonderful Nukes Are Going to BE! No Carbon Air Pollution!

IN REALITY: Vogtle, Georgia is the Only New Power Plant in the USA in the Last 30 Years and It's $16 Billion Dollars Over Budget and 6 Years Behind Schedule. AWAKEN! Fission is a Failure!

However, they Usually Fail to Mention the Solid Radioactive Waste that NO ONE Has Figured Out What To Do With... Except Store it for 10,000 Years... and GUARD IT to Prevent Terrorist from Creating a Dirty Bomb... A Madman Could Simply Place a Normal Bomb under a Cask... and Kablooeeeee! Fallout For Hundreds of Miles Downwind... 

In Fact, there are Many Jobs Decomissioning Closed Nuclear Power Plants. A Group of Skilled Workers Take Apart The Abandoned Power Plant and Store the Dangerous Parts Safely. I Personally Watched People Dismantle The PG&E Humboldt Bay Power Plant for Years... and Drive North with Truckloads of Radioactive Material... Finally They are Done and they Left Behind SIX Casks of Atomic Waste... and the Employees all travel on to the NEXT Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant... In This Case, San Onofre... in Southern California... While Security Guards Watch the Atomic Waste for 10,000 Years... That's Steady Employment!

meme - Nuclear Power is Wonderful - except for the Radioactive Waste

and Every Year there are Fewer and Fewer Nuclear Power Plants because the Executives that Actually Make Decisions at Power Companies CHOOSE SOLAR, WIND And HYDRO. PG&E Plans to Shut Down Diablo Canyon in California... It's a Doomed Industry. EXCEPT IN CHINA! They Keep On Building Nuclear Power Plants... WHY? 

Here in the USA, Cost Overruns at Vogtle, Georgia Caused Westinghouse to Go Bankrupt... That was a Famous Old American Company... So Sad to See Them Fail...  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-toshiba-accounting-westinghouse-nucle/how-two-cutting-edge-u-s-nuclear-projects-bankrupted-westinghouse-idUSKBN17Y0CQ

South Carolina Electric and Gas was also in the process of constructing two Westinghouse AP1000 plants, which had been scheduled to go into service in 2020, but construction on these was abandoned in 2017... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_C._Summer_Nuclear_Generating_Station

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

and In Vogtle News:

Consumers may end up paying for billions of dollars in cost overruns on the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion. https://www.ajc.com/news/business/nuclear-cost-overrun-could-mean-billions-in-extra-georgia-power-profit/YIA3T3YHZRHI5A7GCZHREIXCPE/

The project is years behind its original schedule and billions of dollars above its original budget. The two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors were expected to enter service as early as 2016, at a cost of about $14 billion, after construction was approved in 2012. 

https://www.powermag.com/vogtle-nuclear-expansion-price-tag-tops-30-billion/

That amount doesn’t count the $3.68 billion that original contractor Westinghouse paid to the owners after going bankrupt, which would bring total spending to more than $34 billion.

Vogtle is the only nuclear plant under construction in the United States, and its costs could deter other utilities from building such plants, even though they generate electricity without releasing climate-changing carbon emissions.

SE SAID:
Another thing I don't understand about right-wingers is the fact that they get so angry and act so weird at any mention of climate change, and they lose their minds at the very suggestion that maybe, just maybe, we might want to consider doing a few things differently so we can at least slow down the destruction of our planet. I don't understand the rage. Recently, our governor announced that starting in the year 2035, new gasoline-powered cars will no longer be able to be sold. It doesn't mean you can no longer DRIVE one, and it doesn't mean you're forbidden from selling your used gas-powered car or buying a used gas-powered car. All it means is that if you want to buy a NEW car, starting in 2035, it will have to be electric. But you should see the crazyreactions from the right. They think ALL gas-powered vehicles have ALREADY been banned! Nothing is being banned, but the law that all NEW vehicles being sold must be electric doesn't start until 2035 anyway. 2035! To me, that sounds so far in the future, my brain can't even process 2035 right now. It's over a decade away! I'm sure that in 12 years, technology will continue to advance and we will continue to move forward, and the world will be in a place where people buying a new car will be fully ready and happy to buy an electric car rather than a gas-powered car. There is plenty of time to prepare for this change - and to me, it doesn't sound like that big of a change anyway since every other car on the road here in San Jose is a Tesla, so obviously people here are already buying tons of electric cars. But honestly, I don't understand the anger and rage from the right any time anyone mentions something which could benefit the environment or the planet. Some of us are old enough to remember the thick brown smog of the 70's. Sometimes we had "smog alerts" where people were told not to exercise outdoors because of the poor air quality. You couldn't even see the hills surrounding the Santa Clara Valley because the smog blocked them out. Now our air is clear and the skies are blue, except when there are wildfires, which is another climate issue affecting our planet. I just don't understand where the anger comes from.

Will the FBI Do BALLOT FRAUD Using Photoshop on the Georgia 2020 Election That Trump Lost? Change the Votes??? They took the real ballots to some hidden location...

This is a clear example of Mental Illness... Joe Biden already served four years as president because Trump lost the 2020 election... And at this late date how could it possibly matter? But now that the FBI has become a tool to be used to punish people that didn't vote for Trump... Corruption is HERE!

OK... I Like the Fact That We Won World War Two. Dropping Atom Bombs on Japan CURED Their Bad Attitude Problem... and They Switched from Being Insane War Mongers to Becoming Rather Nice People That Build Great Cars and Electronics...

However... Every War Since then Has Been BOGUS... I asked a Korean War Veteran: "What Was that War all About? Why Were We There?" and He Said... "I Have No Idea! and If You Find Out, Please Tell Me!"

and the US Government Has Forced Americans to Go Fight in Extremely STUPID WARS for No Reason... Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq and Afghanistan... We Lost them All and NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!

on the Other hand... The US Government was PURE EVIL When They Outlawed Marijuana, LSD, Peyote and Magic Mushrooms... WOW...

No Cop City - It's a waste of money and a Danger to People... meme

The extremely unpopular, corporate-funded Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, better known as Cop City (the center protested by Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán, whom police gunned down with more than 50 bullets), was previously estimated to cost taxpayers a whopping $30 million. The ridiculously expensive public project is just the latest example of public monies being sucked up by police instead of actually used to fund social programs that help people.

The good news is that it will not cost $30 million. It will likely most more than $100M.

American Terrorists "The Order"

In 1984, a young charismatic leader, Bob Mathews, built an army of white supremacists with the goal of eliminating Jewish people from the face of the earth and overthrowing the U.S. government. The group, known as The Order, went on a crime spree- stealing millions and murdering an outspoken Jewish radio host. A group of FBI agents in the pacific northwest works to find and capture one of the largest domestic terrorist syndicates the US has ever seen.

I keep waiting for the heat to let up, but it never does. The laundry was piling up, so I am doing it in the building laundry room, which is not air conditioned and has flies buzzing around because the doors are propped open. Now I'm wishing I'd gone to the laundromat because at least it's air conditioned. But laundry is a miserable chore when it's hot. But I guess it's never going to not be hot, so it has to be done.

The People Have Spoken, 4 powerful words. Tonight, the people of Georgia have spoken. Thank you to all of the supporters who made this happen. This campaign was filled with tremendous effort from everyone involved. This is a glorious accomplishment! From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you! What a great win for Georgia and for America!

The Bottom Line: A Warnock win means Dems will have more subpoena power than in an evenly-divided Senate, which we should use to drown out the bad faith nonsense investigations from the MAGA House majority.
It means President Biden's historic pace of confirming a group of young, diverse judges can continue.
It means Manchin and Sinema are now less able to disrupt progress on legislation that will help our country move forward in a variety of ways.
It's a great win for Democracy and the American people.

Cartoon - Hunter Biden's Laptop - Photos of his Penis - It's "Censorship" to not show Dick Pics on Twitter - says GOP - Elon Musk - Crazy!



The Twitter Files is Elon's release of internal documents from head Twitter honchos over blocking "news" on its platform about Hunter Biden's laptop in the weeks before the 2020 election. Independent journalist Matt Taibbi did the reporting on it and released screenshots of emails and files through a stream of tweets.

In October of 2020, The New York Post published a story that a computer repair man had Hunter's laptop. He doesn't know who dropped it off because he's partially blind (I can't make this shit up), but it was never picked up. He went through the laptop and supposedly found alarming information, so he gave it to the FBI who's investigating Hunter for lobbying for a foreign nation without registering and for not paying taxes. He also gave a copy of the hard drive to Rudy Giuliani, who then shared it with a million MAGAt goons and The New York Post.

The New York Post published a story that Hunter has a laptop with alarming things on it, like photos of drug use, photos of Hunter naked, and emails that may prove corruption involving his father. At the time, none of this was authenticated to be Hunter's laptop. Even the reporters who were assigned the story didn't want their names on it. The story wasn't fleshed out by The New York Post, so it wasn't ready to be published yet. But, The Post is a Murdoch publication and the entire intention of publishing this wasn't to provide news, but more to help Donald Trump win the 2020 election.

The Twitter Files show that the executives at Twitter agonized over what to do with this. Remember, this was stolen information provided by Rudy Giuliani. They had a responsibility to check this. They decided to suspend the account of The New York Post, which was the wrong thing to do. Blocking the story is understandable since, at that point, nobody knew if it was a Russian scam or not. It has since turned out that it's probably Hunter's laptop although there is NOTHING on it that suggests either of the Bidens did anything illegal. No, you stupid MAGAts, and you too Ted Rall, there's nothing.

There was also no evidence that Twitter was doing the bidding of the Biden campaign. The Biden campaign did ask Twitter to block the nude photos that were supposedly of Hunter, which is also understandable. The Trump campaign and White House also attempted to influence what Twitter allowed, and they were often successful. There was nothing in the Twitter Files that even suggest their actions were political or they were doing it to protect and help the Biden campaign.

Republicans are running with this and claiming it proves corruption between Democrats and "big tech." Others say if the Post story and nude photos of Hunter Biden weren't suppressed, then Trump would have won the election. Donald Trump is even using the Twitter Files to demand that he be reinstated to the presidency and that the Constitution be "terminated."

Republicans ignore that it came from a stolen laptop and was provided by a MAGAt to Rudy Giuliani, and then given to the right-wing tabloid, The New York Post, and published in a story so full of holes that the reporters didn't want their names on it.

One of the complaints from the right is that the mainstream media (the media that doesn't make shit up) isn't covering the release of the Twitter Files. That's false as I've seen coverage of it on CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. It doesn't get more mainstream media than that.

Gary McCoy drew a cartoon complaining about the "left-wing" media's "profound silence" over the release of the Twitter Files, but the media has covered it (see above)...just not to the liking of Gare Bear. McCoy posted on Facebook that the release proves "that the Democrats rigged the last election" and "Trump would be president today were it not for this scandal." Gary's also a moron and a former Never-Trump who got on the Trump Train after discovering just how racist Trump is. On another point: Why hasn't The Week run a cartoon of mine over the past week, but they're running this shit? C'mon, man. I think The Week is suppressing my free speech (see what I did there?).

Lisa Benson drew a cartoon claiming Twitter's suppression of the files was "government meddling" and an attack on "free speech," except Joe Biden wasn't the government. He was a candidate at the time. Also, this isn't a free speech issue since the Constitution, the same one Trump wants to terminate, doesn't guarantee a constitutional right to tweet. Lisa, good cartoonists understand the issues they cover. So either you don't understand what you're covering, or you're lying.

Mike Lester also claims it's an attack on "free speech" with a metaphor about urinating on legs which is in some awesome artwork but....what? I scrolled through Lester's Twitter to see if he had done something more recent since this was posted on December 2, but my god...that guy tweets racism and conspiracy theories as if he's making up for Ben Garrison's Twitter absence.

Bob Gorrell, who repurposes old drawings instead of actually drawing new cartoons, also got it wrong. There is no evidence in the Twitter Files that shows Twitter interfered in the election. Twitter is NOT a government platform and can choose to allow what is and isn't published.

Eric Allie also complains about the lack of media coverage by drawing a "nothing-burger," ironically with the huge label "Democrats and media collude with tech companies to suppress the free press." Eric, the media is the free press.

Al Goodwyn drew a cartoon accusing Twitter and Democrats of "inappropriate relations," ignoring that the Twitter Files also showed that Twitter often relented to demands from the Trump White House (sic).
