Michigan governor calls for nuclear plant to reopen

As a member of our party, she has probably also embraced the popular but unworkable fossil fuel dependent junk misnamed as "renewable energy," specifically solar and wind, but given the hostility to reality expressed by antinukes, including the "I'm not an antinuke" antinukes we see here and elsewhere, this is brave and sensible, but also courageous, embracing nuclear energy. Her neighbor in Illinois should be so sensible.

If in time, she runs for President, and I am still alive to vote for her, she has my vote, if only for having a sense of reality, an open mind to face practical realities.
