American nuclear power

Can mean power from nuclear weapons or power (electricification) from nuclear power plants.
This is what happens when politicians let panicky people talk them into doing dumb things. If we had built those cancelled plants, we would be getting 47% of our power from nuclear instead of 20%. We would be a Hell of a lot closer to de-carbonizing the grid, and have a much better chance of pulling it off. Well, enjoy.
