Sure, let’s get a nuclear plant going in Florida. We never have weather events here. You are willfully ignoring so much evidence contrary to your views, it’s kind of sad.

It is the other way around. You have zero comprehension on the benefits of nuclear above all other options. You'd rather fill landfills with more toxic trash

You are so dense, there’s no point in engaging in civil debate.

You're referring to events that will never happen in the US.
-
The point of solar and wind is to be good for the environment, which it isn't.
-
People die in the mines for the materials, wind turbines kill over 500k birds a year, destroys environment by finding space to discard the waste.

Grow up with the name calling kid. Nuclear is the safest energy source we have available

My favorite is that one person going 20mph with 15 cars lined up behind them. Pull the fuck over and let them go around you! I drove home from belfast last night and yeah, the roads were covered but not fly off the road bad, even on the hills on rt 7. I'm sure it was bad in other places.
My husband went out at 11pm in a tanker full of fuel, to Machias. The people going 20mph are a royal pita for loaded trucks trying to make it anywhere too, if they don't pull over.

Highly unlikely based on the direction and where I live.

It's almost like Fukushima isn't relevant. How many 9.0 magnitude earthquakes followed by 40m tall waves happen in the US?

Not to be the Uno-reverse card here but maybe the guy in the SUV had to get to the hospital or something equally important.
I agree with your PSA 100% but, you know, assumptions beware

A screening program a year later in 2012 found that more than a third (36%) of children in Fukushima Prefecture have abnormal growths in their thyroid glands.[215] As of August 2013, there have been more than 40 children newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer and other cancers in Fukushima prefecture as a whole.
No problem there right? So what if kids get cancer! It’s totally safe! That could never happen here! Certainly not in a country where even the government tried to cover up the polluted water in Flint, Michigan.

I live at the bottom of a hill. People go off the road usually going up right before the turn a few times per year. You do have to hit the gas a bit right where the road changes to get up the hill. And that’s where they end up on the side of the road.

Find me one instance if people getting killed by a horrific wind and solar accident that made the surrounding area uninhabitable. Rhetorically, since you’re a fucking idiot and that doesn’t exist. Or maybe wind and solar bombs? No referring to comic books though.

Happened to me in my truck once that was a bit icy, was going pretty slow, around 30mph, tranmision up shifted rear tires broke free and kicked out and that was all she wrote.

Several days, depending on how many tourists were on Rt 1.

I think the problem is it's not really snowing bad enough to be overly cautious. I see people driving 30 on I95 because of a little bit of sleet. Then I see people passing them going 90 which is obviously isn't good.

PSA winter tires are designed to operate at 45F and lower temperatures. The rubber is very soft and will figuratively, with the potential to literally, melt. Also they are expensive as fuck, especially if you choose to buy another set of wheels.

I did a little bit of DoorDashing in Bangor earlier thinking it would be busy (which it was), but I gave up on it pretty quickly. Even with an AWD SUV, conditions were awful. Made the mistake of taking Stillwater back to Orono and hoo boy, wasn't that harrowing?

So we don't put one in southern Florida? It's not a difficult concept. There are plenty of places in the US that are risk free
