As for your other less obtuse comments...
"You do understand that the final decision to close Indian Point came in 2017 from NY State. The closure was Cuomo's baby. Not sure what you expected the prior administration to do about that...but you toss in a shot anyway. You do also understand that Hillary Clinton was fully on board with closing down Indian Point. So you didn't really expect the administration that you wanted in power to do anything about it anyway...but now you wish somebody had done something."
Maybe I wasn't clear enough to you with my recognition of a long process just finishing now, but I do understand more could have been done earlier...care to explain to me why the Trump administration never raised a peep about it? As for the Dems, they currently have the most active anti-nuke segment and as I tried to convey, I'm working on it with a couple of Congressmen....on the other side of the aisle it's more a case of the GOP being firmly in the hands of the Fossil Fuel industry...a bunch of states that don't want their "Ox Gored" by Nuclear...you can sense the frustration, I hope...but we soldier on.
"You end by saying "Joe Biden leans in the same direction". The point was that the angle of Biden's lean has changed significantly from what was advertised pre-election."
Again, I'm encouraged to some degree by what I've heard from the Biden/Booker camps...but I still repeat my mantra "In God we trust...all others bring data", or "I'll believe it when I see it"...hence the continued "lobbying" on my part...you, however, seem to have given up entirely...to each their own.
"As Biden leans further left, as evidenced by his first 100 days, he leans further away from any likely support for your issue. You know this...but nothing about Biden seems to concern you much at all, even as someone who "used to vote for Republicans" ."
Kind of a repeat from the previous paragraph, but as regards the "used to vote for Republicans" comment, please don't be calling me the "L" word...I'm a moderate who has indeed voted that way and if you'd like I'll vent some more as to why I believe the current instantiation of that Party has been veering off track with their lack of conservative fundamentals for quite some time...just ask me.
"Just curious how you would respond given that you came on this board championing this issue as a very critical concern of yours. As Biden now veers ever more "Progressive"...you're going to be increasingly literally tilting at windmills..."
Good question...Since reliable, available and affordable energy allows us to play computer games, etc. instead of breaking our backs every day just to survive, it's a very big issue,..I'm not being snarky here...I know you share the concern...but fundamentally I believe in "Numbers" and "Facts"...we'll end up where we need to be...hopefully ASAP, with the least amount of "pain", so while the "Progressive Wing" of the DNC leans away from Nuclear, I sense that Biden is more of a "Pragmatist" than a "Progressive"...there are social issues that demand Progressive attention, but hard fundamentals, such as the need for energy aren't all that "squishy"...I'm betting he makes the right call. (Fingers crossed while I arrange another Congressional call).
BTW, I hope you don't think that this is a 'Windmill' not worth "tilting" at.
