Or explain to Greta why she can't have children when one of those aging nuke plants leaks some hot isotopes  into her air or food supply. 

The argument for nuke plants is sort of like the argument for someone spitting contagious hepatitis on you on the bus.  "This is a much better alternative to Ebola or Bubonic plague! It's nearly gruesome death-free!"
Obviously it won’t be a uneducated Oilcan

Roy Cohn neutered trump. Putin moved into the vacant cavity upon the defrocked lawyer’s demise.

Conservative UK
Conservative USA
Conservative Australia

Best thing for world peace.

If only Conservatives could get control of France, Canada, Germany...world peace would be guaranteed.

Trudeau surely on his way out
In four years. Maybe.
No hurry.
He is already neutered
kiid doesn't like the way Trudeau governs.

Heh.

Trump's insulting someone is not the same as neutering them.
Has nothing to do with Trump.
Trudeau lost the popular vote in the last election to the conservatives.

That will force the Liberal Prime Minister, who swept to power in 2015 as a champion of progressive values but became tainted by ethical scandals and broken promises, to negotiate political alliances.

France has long championed nukes.
Currently they get over 70% of the electricity from nuke plants.
With plans to reduce that to 50% by 2030 by increasing solar and wind.

Of course nuclear power is inherently unsafe, since there is no way to safely dispose of the nuclear waste.  While minor and major accidents occur.

The WSJ can cheerlead nukes all they want, but I wouldn't want to live near a nuclear power plant, let alone an aging one, while wind and solar and other renewable sources are clearly the future.

Republicans are killing off rural America by feeding it to the prison industrial complex.

Given the cost of building a reactor (huge), plus the cost of decommissioning (ginormous), the economics* makes it likely the arc of energy bends towards renewables.   Which Boz's Polska kobieta and relations will no doubt applaud. 

* even Macron-economics, haha!

And, yes, impeach McConnell.   Not just for violating his oath of office, but for failing to qualify as a human being.  The turtle-aliens from Deneb IV have meddled in our Terran governments long enough!

While I was touring Belarus the other day I saw the roads where the Nazi tanks and troops rolled thru, massacring the people as they went on their way to Moscow.
I also saw how the few people who are still living there are receiving a larger pension because their towns are 'radioactive' from Chernobyl.

Excellent video.

I have the feeling the first paragraph of your post is a quote?
