Even assuming that we are able to pry Democrats’ claws loose from power, it will take some time to recover from the damage Joe Biden et al. have been inflicting. We still haven’t recovered from Jimmy Carter.

One way we know that liberals do not believe in their own global warming dogma is that they do not support nuclear energy, which unlike fossil fuels produces virtually no harmless CO2, and unlike green energy is viable. It would be even more viable if not for Jimmy Carter:

The World Nuclear Association claims that up to 97% of nuclear waste (94% of which is uranium) can be recycled. Several types of reactors can use recycled fuel, and conventional reactors are capable of using fuel extracted from spent uranium and plutonium. …

[U]p to 1,940 of the 2,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel the United States accumulates each year could be used again instead of being stored on-site in old power plants, winding up in a deep hole in the desert.

Other countries wisely recycle their nuclear waste, but not the USA, thanks to the moonbat previously known (prior to Obama and Biden) as the worst POTUS in history.

Carter banned the recycling of nuclear fuel in the U.S. back in 1977, citing the expenses involved and the risks that spent fuel could be used to make nuclear weapons.

Actually,

Used reactor fuel is difficult to convert into the material you’re likely to find inside a fusion or fission bomb (via Brookings).

Because we do not allow ourselves to use it as an asset, nuclear waste becomes a problem:

With recycling off the table, the waste produced might remain an expensive and hazardous problem in the United States.

No worries; Democrats have appointed Sam Brinton to oversee the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology. His qualifications are that he is a deviant who enjoys dressing in women’s clothes and indulging in depraved sex with men wearing dog costumes. An official government website enthuses that…

…Sam is excited to bring their knowledge and passion for nuclear waste as a self-proclaimed #NuclearNerd to the Department of Energy.

“Their” means Brinton’s. As the US Department of Energy informs us, “They identify as gender-fluid and use the pronouns they, them, and theirs.”

Too bad Brinton doesn’t identify as someone who would know enough to overrule Jimmy Carter and recycle nuclear fuel.

   […] 1976, the first election I really got into. Regan vs Ford for the GOP nomination, and the eventual election where America narrowly picked Carter over Ford. And, I believe many of us have forgotten just what a terrible president Carter turned out to be. How bad? So bad we are still paying the price […]
