Cooper vetoes bill to add cheap and reliable nuclear to "clean" energy | Eastern NC Now

Leftwing Governor Roy Cooper wants to follow Germany and straightjacket North Carolina with expensive and unreliable wind and solar energy.  In following that path, Cooper has vetoed SB 678 that would add nuclear energy to what is termed "clean" energy in North Carolina.  Nuclear energy is much cheaper to produce than wind and solar energy, and is dependable unlike fickle intermittant wind energy and unreliable solar that never produces at night or in lots of common weather conditions.

Cooper got RINOs to give him NC's Green New Deal, HB951, to go down the wind and solar rabbit hole and opposes the belated attempt to add nuclear.

A good comparison of electric rates is between wind and solar obsessed Germany and next door France which relies mosly on nuclear power.  Germany's electric rates are over twice those of nuclear powered France.  Of course, coal powered Poland is even cheaper.  France is now doubling down on nuclear with a bunch of new nuclear power plants.  Poland, Sweden, and Norway are doing the same.  Indeed, Sweden recently repealed it policy of pushing wind and solar and is now wholely in the nuclear camp.

The RINO leadership of the NC legislature sold consumers down the river on the NC Green New Deal, HB951, but they are trying to soften that somewhat with SB678, which is at least a step in the right direction.
