And before people disingenuously complain “woke” is denigrating to older people, it’s actually pundits like Carville using terms like “woke” to insult voters under 45 that’s denigrating.

Don’t wonder why youth turnout falls when Dems talk about them like this. We need everyone.

Like the average audience for people seriously using the word “woke” in a 2021 political discussion are James Carville and Fox News pundits so that should tell you all you need to know

@AOC ("Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez") wrote:

How can news outlets even attribute words to me I didn’t say?

I said there are limits to trying to mobilize a campaign with a 100% moderate strategy without mobilizing the base. Said nothing abt “wokeness” which is a term almost exclusively used by older people these days btw

this article is correct but also it's wildly irresponsible to write it while spending as little ink as it does on the possibility that the whole point of making it look like a democratization of finance is to juice a whole bunch of poor suckers out of their last $100

Do fans of nuclear power just... not look at the numbers?

They're advocating for the most expensive, hardest-to-construct option, and don't seem to question why it's in a state of decline.

Meanwhile renewables are growing exponentially cheaper, especially Solar PV.

@bascule ("Tony "Abolish ICE" Arcieri 🦀🌹") replied to a tweet by @KarlAlexPauls:

@KarlAlexPauls @GretaThunberg Nuclear fission is the most expensive option, associated with decade-long construction schedules, delays, and cost overruns. It's in decline for a reason.

It was overtaken by solar and wind this year, which are both substantially cheaper and can be deployed much more rapidly.

OK

There are now more humans who've gotten a vaccine than humans who have not

Progress!

Reactor units 3 and 4 of Plant Vogtle are planned to provide 1117MW each, or ~2.2GW total.

That's about the same generating capacity as India's 2.25GW Bhadla Solar Park, which cost $1.4 billion to build and was constructed in 4 years:

The Bhadla Solar Park in India is the world’s largest solar project.

It was built in 4 phases between 2016 and 2020. It consists of 37 plants spanning 14,000 acres.

Total cost: $1.4 billion.
Energy cost: 3.4c/kWh
