Because of incentives for renewables and unnecessary penalties and hurdles on nuclear.

No. Its half 4 in the morning and I want to go to bed. The penalties and hurdles for nuclear are what most of the rest of the world calls safe guards. You have a dictator at present who is removing all oversight of everything, where does this end up?
I'm 12,000 miles away so I'm way beyond fall out I hope. Good luck!!!

Modern reactors are essentially meltdown proof. I'm not talking about removing reasonable safeguards. I'm talking about having reasonable, meaningful rules, regulations, and safeguards while dropping the rules that were made more than 50 years ago when nuclear reactor tech was not what it is today. Breeder reactors run MUCH longer on a lot less nuclear fuel while having a design that is not susceptible to the types of meltdowns that happened at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

You are in full support of this. It’s not just climate science. You’re either against the destruction of science in the United States, or you are complicit in the scientific brain drain of American scientists to more science friendly nations. And you are complicit in this drain. I believe you have made it clear you favor these cuts and attacks on science, and not just climate science. You are unable to criticize Trump for doing this. And if you do suggest “no, it’s just fake climate science”, then maybe you might tell us how you do not favor this overall attack on science and American scientists, and foreign scientists working in America. Tell us Trump is wrong to cause a drain of scientists from the United States, you defender of “real science”.

“America has stood as a world superpower for the past century or so, and much of that power has been derived from the country’s scientific and technological prowess. From medicine to aerospace, some of the greatest thinkers in modern history have called the United States their home and pushed boundaries while residing within its borders.
That tradition is under threat in ways it has never been before as Donald Trump’s administration engages in the mass firing of scientists in the federal government, cuts funding to scientific research, and generally pushes an agenda that opposes scientific inquiry.
The Trump administration has thrown out hundreds of National Institutes of Health (NIH) research projects, fired thousands of the agency’s scientists, and looks intent on further dismantling the agency. Research funding for universities is also being stripped. So is climate science. Science is under attack in the United States basically everywhere you look.
Trump’s attacks on science are making American scientists anxious, and many are considering leaving the country indefinitely. Nearly 2,000 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine signed a letter in March warning of the administration’s threat to science. A poll from the international science journal Nature in late March found that 75 percent of American scientists are considering leaving the United States. European countries are planning on increasing their science funding, and countries like France, Belgium, and the Netherlandshave launched programs to lure American scientists.
Brain Drain: Scientists Are Fleeing the U.S. as Trump Cuts Funding
American scientists are looking for opportunities overseas as Donald Trump and his administration cut funding and fire scientists.

If you were a researcher who had opportunities in Canada, Europe, and even Asia, why would you stay here? American political leadership has made it pretty obvious that they don’t value your Expertise, aren’t going to fund your research, and may use the levers of government to harass you if your research doesn’t agree with their worldview.You are in full support of this. It’s not just climate science. You’re either against the destruction of science in the United States, or you are complicit in the scientific brain drain of American scientists to more science friendly nations.
