    I think you don't know what you are talking about. Here is the document site, including the Feb 2016 approval: https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/south-texas-project.html

    Why don't you explain how "Obama stopped" the project by approving it?

    Fake News. Institutional racism has been illegal in this nation for 50 years. If there was a racist institution actually operating today they would be buried in lawsuits and stripped of their assets.

    Wood is still keeping my house warm. I have a wood stove in the basement and a lot of trees. I supplement the wood with propane as my central heating runs on propane which is not uncommon in WV. I had a propane delivery yesterday. Under Biden propane prices are climbing on a daily basis. A tank of propane for me is now over $1400, so when spring comes I will be firing up the chainsaw. A few years ago I looked at solar. The return on investment was 15 years -- that is if no solar panels were to be destroyed by storms. With Biden at the helm, investment in old tech such as wood stoves may be a matter of survival in the future. Also, the Spring looks like a good time to get some chickens.

    Obama shut down the Federal Loan Guarantee that all the plants have received thereby making the investors pull out. Again, I was in the middle of the project. You have no clue.

    'federal loan guarantee' sounds like socialism.

    Your forgot one word. That is MOTHA F...... Russia put nuclear in Ukraine. We also helped Belarus because ironically the traditional ethnic Ukrainian area of Belarus on the Prypiat River got slammed with radiation as bad as the city of Prypiat in Ukraine.

    I do think so. Our Democratic friends have become inept in election strategy lately. They barely held on to the house and the Senate is 50/50.
    Only Kamalka's vote "saves" them.

    Don't be so snide about things. Texas is 800 miles across. Different regions of it do indeed have vastly different geography and climate.

    What fear? That is like saying that we need to investigate the Congressional Democrats to find which Pizza Cave locations they are holding Satanic pedophile blood drinking after they sacrifice kids to Satan .

    "You " have as much evidence proving that Pelosi is a Pedophile muderess as you have on widespread election fraud.

    Actually, seems to me there is quite a it of evidence. But, if you are right and there isn't enough evidence to prove anything, then the issue will be over, forgotten. How would that not be a good thing?

    The American schools system is an example of institutional racism.
    There are may racist institutions in the US. Most of them were created early in the "progressive era".

    Blind partisan hate and contempt for political opponents is always sad - and often dangerous.

    HRC and many of her supporters believed that the 2016 election was stolen. Is that like believing the earth is flat?

    You need to take what the short bursts of stupidity that the Clinton Woman yapped about and the hurricane , tsunami and cacophony of lies that the Trumpocity and his minions and of delusional supported pushed out. Hillary did not invite terrorists to D.C. to stop the ertification of the EC votes. Hillary did not file 60 suits that went noware due to lack of evidence or substance nor did her fans. Trump's fans claimed that hundred of thousands of Biden votes where "dumped" into states without one nano shrewd of proof or even a logical explanation. Trump fans claimed that North Korea sent millions of Biden ballots in smal boats through Maine. That scenario would not not even be believable by a jury of 3 year olds bribed with cookies. Hillary did not fart out crap of saying that she would only accept the viability of the 2016 election if she won. Hillary did lie and claim that she actually won in a landslide.

    You know that Hillary's stupid words of stolen election was 1/1,000,000 of what not only had been but continues to be farted out by the Trumpocity and his followers. Hillary does not have QANON repeating his big lie as the Trumpocity did and does.

    If you are going to play the whataboutism game make sure that you have equivalency.

    Seems to you. Sorry, you're not a judge. We don't investigate conspiracy theories because Trump supporters believe lies.

    How 'bout we investigate you? Seems to me we need to tear your house apart looking for evidence. Biden says so; it must be true. Right?

    I agree. Bye. Send a postcard.

    After you're gone we'll tell everyone else the real solutions.

    Do you mean the 61 courts who rejected trumpee claims? That was a very very large investigation. And trumpees were laughed out of court even by judges trump appointed.

    Late edit:
    OH! LOL! This is into La-La Land. Nevermind.
