Die derzeitige Regierung hat heimlich die Regeln zur nuklearen Sicherheit umgeschrieben

I don’t think any rational, decent person can read these rule changes and think anything other than „WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, WHY HAVE WE GIVEN THE WORST PEOPLE SO MUCH POWER TO DO THIS, HOLY FUCKING SHIT“ (yes, these are the thoughts of rational people these days):

– Protection of groundwater is no longer a “must.” Rather, companies must give “consideration” to “avoiding or minimizing” radioactive contamination. Requirements for monitoring and documentation are also softened.

– The new order raises the bar for an official accident investigation from incidents that expose workers to two times the legal dose, to those at four times.

– Hundreds of pages of security rules were trimmed from the new orders, including a requirement to issue body armor to security police officers (SPOs).

– Rather than requiring protection of the environment, the new order suggests “minimizing” environmental impacts “if practical.”

I support nuclear power btw, I’m not some fucking uneducated, anti-science hippie.

But I support it if its done with safety regulations and with environmental regulations in place (because obviously energy companies won’t do shit about fuck unless required to, seriously, as if they would give „consideration“).

That’s because the admin didn’t write these rules. Whoever stands to benefit from the changes wrote the rules and a hefty check.

Wasn’t there a news clip about this in *Robocop 2*?

This is the most open administration I’ve seen.

The us has fallen so far behind in nuclear power. It all but stopped in the early 70s. We don’t know what the changes in regulations are but I still think some changes are necessary.

Nothing in there could possibly be worse than diving in to a climate disaster. We need to reduce and ideally stop CO2. Nuclear helps.

wow… so you are telling me the fascist regime is now looking to create the post apocalyptic hellscape from fallout?

Let me guess. All liability is removed.

If I ever thought there was someone who actually really really wanted to drop a nuke, literally basically for fun? Trump.

This (for probably the first and only time in a Trump administration) isn’t as awful
as it sounds. Nuclear power has been massively over-regulated because the fossil fuel industry wanted to eliminate its only significant competitor.

The US has never had a single civilian radiation death from nuclear power. It’s waaaaaaaaaaaaaay safer than burning coal.

Pollution from coal power stations kills more people every day than every nuclear power accident in history.

They really are hellbent on destroying the US and the planet.

There is no other word for them but evil greedy fcks.
