Nuclear is the cheapest, cleanest, safest form of electricity generation.

Do some research into who pushed FUD propaganda about Nuclear industry, (Big oil) and who paid off the shrill environmental FUD lobby, (Bug oil).

Nuclear power is used safely in aircraft carriers and submarines for decades. It's time to build more nuclear power and build the cleaner, safer, cheaper electrical energy future.

I'm all for more nuclear as a stopgap but they had to shut down large parts of their nuclear energy in TX because the water froze.

Nuclear power plants in Texas are down due to the cold.

Singular, yes, of two total. I think the point still stands, simply saying "nuclear good" isn't the answer to the problems from this event.
