It's a shame that this totally genuine supporter of nuclear power doesn't believe in electric vehicles. You'd think EVs and nuclear would make a great pairing. But no, strangely, in his opening paragraph in this very honest attempt to sell nuclear power to a skeptical public he's more worried about gasoline costs and silly politicians subsidizing uneconomic cars. Hmmm, whatever could he mean by that surprisingly vague swipe.

> The United States has only 241 coal units in operation, so shuttering them would be a meaningless exercise in virtue-signaling.

I'm beginning to doubt the authors sincerity in seeking solutions to this problem.
