Neon Nettle: Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is calling on Europe to reboot the many nuclear power plants that are sitting dormant while oil and gas prices soar due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said Sunday that restarting dormant nuclear power plants could help to stop increasing energy prices.
“Hopefully, it is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones,” Musk tweeted.
“This is *critical* to national and international security.
“Also nuclear is vastly better for global warming than burning hydrocarbons for energy,” Musk added.
“For those who (mistakenly) think this is a radiation risk, pick what you think is the worst location.” more
Sounds like a chernobyl ideal as long as they don’t fukushima it up…

I’m wondering if Elon has any idea what it takes to restart a nuke power plant? He thinks hes all that because Elton John wrote a song about him.
Oh, don’t worry.
The way things are going i have a feeling that a heck of a lot of nuclear energy will be used very very fast & Loudly.
Tucker had a good segment tonight, and it is scary & worth a listen. Y-tube Tucker: We are at war with Russia. Mar 7/22
whom would have the nuclear fuel avalable for such a project?
Me, I’ll stay 3 miles away reading The China Syndrome…
Too late for Europe and the United States. If America had pursued nuclear power during the decades that the environmentalists fought every new power plant with endless litigation, more than forty percent of our country’s electricity would be generated by the atom. Now, the Germans and the Dutch are buying power from the French, who wouldn’t allow the anti-nuclear power green energy fanatics to shut down the source of 70% of its electrical power.
