Donald Trump Takes A Skeptical View Of Nuclear Energy On Joe Rogan’s Podcast
HuffPost
The presidential candidate raised concerns about a clean electricity source Republicans love and that his campaign pledged to grow.
Former President Donald Trump took a skeptical stance on nuclear energy in his recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, warning that the source of electricity Republican voters favor and GOP lawmakers vowed to support carries “dangers” and costs too much.
While the GOP nominee for president said atomic energy “is very clean” during his three-hour conversation with the popular comedian and sports commentator, he repeatedly cited the downsides of a technology his administration supported in the past and his campaign has now vowed to promote if he’s elected again next month.
“They get too big and too complex and too expensive,” Trump said.
“There’s a little danger to nuclear,” he continued. “You know, we had some really bad nuclear.”
Trump then name-checked two proposed reactor projects that went bust during his presidency. Six months after Trump took office, South Carolina abandoned its $9 billion plan to expand the Virgil C. Summer nuclear station, which ultimately saw two executives jailed for lying to regulators about the viability of the project. Trump also mentioned Alabama, where, just a few months after Trump left the White House, the Tennessee Valley Authority gave up construction permits for a new reactor after 47 years.
