Another day, another set of lies from Holtec, the company decommissioning both the Indian Point and the Oyster Creek nuclear plants.
Exactly how does a package get delivered & “no individuals or members of the public were exposed to the radiation”?

JD’s lies don’t stop at fake cat memes.
Perhaps he was chosen as T’s running mate due to his experience writing fiction:
It’s a shame Republicans in Congress feel the need to lie all the time.
As someone who voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped the cost of insulin, I can tell you that no Republican voted for it.
VP Harris broke the tie and President Biden signed it into law.

UPDATE: I just got out of jail and this is my testimony:
Women are 14X more likely than men to be killed by climate disasters and those that live are far more likely to be forced into caregiving roles as a result. The climate crisis is a feminist issue.
BREAKING: Dozens of feminists arrested outside @Citi CEO Jane Fraser's home in Manhattan.
Fraser is torching our planet. We fight for liberation. We fight to live.

So, when anyone says "we need new nuclear," just reply
"investing the same money instead in solar PV produces 5.3 x the energy over 65 years"
That is due to the higher capital cost (15.7 x) and longer delays between planning + operation (17-20 y vs 1-3 y) of nuclear
.
It’s unfortunate that nearly every ‘pro-nuke’ promoter avoids reading about the subject.
They follow in the path of climate deniers, claiming that a particular ‘expert’ supports the industry - while many of the world’s top climate/environmental scientists strongly disagree!

Yikes -- imagine the magnitude of non-compliant nuclear wastes Holtec would have gleefully dumped in the Hudson (for decades to come) had New York not enacted necessary prohibitions against such nihilistic --- but profitable -- practices!

The Samuel Lawrence Foundation is well aware that nuclear power won’t help us with climate change. It misuses the time & money we need for real solutions.

Going from bad to worse, Holtec is creating & releasing airborne tritium in MA.
A whistleblower there revealed the machinations the company is using to increase its profits despite the damage to our health from "breathing in radioactive water vapor."

Maybe everyone should stop pushing nuclear and move to actual clean, renewable, non-polluting energy, namely #WindWaterSolar
China and South Korea have both been releasing radioactive tritium from nuclear plants into the ocean
China accused of hypocrisy

“court precedent . . . allows the state to have authority over radiological discharge.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission regards New York as an “Agreement State” — meaning the state takes on the responsibility for the use of nuclear materials within its borders that would otherwise be overseen by the NRC.”
"...there is court precedent that allows the state to have authority over radiological discharge." Thanks @Gothamist for providing important legal context in your coverage of the #SaveTheHudson bill: gothamist.com/news/no-more-r…

SHE SIGNED THE BILL!
Wonderful news! @GovKathyHochul has signed the 'Save the Hudson' Bill to prevent Holtec (company decommissioning Indian Point nuke plant) from dumping radioactive water into the Hudson River.
Many thanks to @SenatorHarckham & @AMDanaLevenberg who sponsored the Bill & worked so hard to get it over the finish line!
