Here's an eloquent counterargument: emissions.

The world is on fire and these clowns are completely fine with dumping a good portion of France's GHG emissions back into the atmosphere if it means we can turn a few more millionaires into billionaires.

I do not know what GHG means but isn't the overwhelming amount of France's electricity generated from nuclear power?

In Lansing's case as he mentioned the power is already being generated and sold to other utilities. If it powered local data centers instead it would generate high paying jobs and rather large tax revenues.
