Nuke plants should be built in urban areas like DC, Chicago, Detroit, NYC. Why ruin good farm land.

Lol, is there poor people in Wyoming? What kind of nuke?

Next-Gen Nuclear Plant and Jobs Are Coming to Wyoming

TerraPower's decision to build its advanced reactor in Wyoming expected to create jobs and clean energy opportunities for the state.

And yes we have poor people.

Dude, I live 5 miles from BNSF HQ. We get a ton of coal, oil and mixed use cars through on a regular basis. Coal cars are no worse that the others, they are all noisy and block traffic in cities.

That BNSF dispatching department were nothing short of wizards managing the Wyoming powder river coal trains. Imagine having to route trains in and out of the mines to the tune of 360 million tons a year.

Nonsense.
I live near tracks where even more dangerous liquified petroleum gas is shipped and it’s wealthy as heck where I live. I can barely afford to live here and 50 tanker cars roll by multiple times a day. They roll right past Biden’s house down the road from me, too.

We had a derailment months ago right next to this mansion. Luckily nothing leaked (that we know of). One of the main family members of the DuPont Chemical company lives there.
Don’t look like no slum to me lol

Those are oil cars in that photo.

LNG isn't currently allowed to be transported by rail in the U.S. except by very limited special permits, and, as far as I can tell, in Alaska since 2015, and, lucky you, by issue of a special permit in 2019 from eastern PA to New Jersey. As far as I can find, that special permit needed a study done first, which isn't expected to be finished until mid 2022. Also, they had to build a terminal in New Jersey to receive the LNG, to be loaded onto ships, to be sent to the Caribbean where it will be burned in power plants. Full testing of cars capable of withstanding impact hasn't been completed yet, either.

So I don't think LNG is moving much by rail in the U.S. as of yet.

Our cat 797's were retrofitted to run off of LNG.

That's funny, i didn't know they were out of business.

The 2 best things about my hillbillies 24/7/365 free tv channel is......within minutes of turning it on, granny is screaming for her gun or her jug and.....especially in the older episodes, miss jane drives the coolest mopar ragtops, different almost every time. 64 plymouth yesterday......red!

Even though we were raised Pontiac people, i've always loved mid 60s mopars

I mentioned that nobody noticed. Their assets and dealer network got picked off by foreign money, and the brand name is still out there. It's like Motorola; the company has been dead for years, but they are still selling Motorola stuff. Seely mattresses are another example. The company is long gone, but consumers don't care as long as they can still buy stuff.

I grew up 10 miles from a coal fired plant built in 1973-74. 100 miles from anything that would be considered a city. I toured the plant on field trips and never has there been an issue with smell or ash. The 'smoke' most people think they see is steam...that's water vapor for those of you in Rio Linda.

No reason we cannot keep using the coal and resume development on nukes at the same time.

"It was a sunny day,
Not a cloud was in the sky,
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by."

You got snowed by the PR people. Run them through, blow smoke up their a**, and thank them for being suckers on the way out.

Despite industry efforts to promote clean coal, answers to the problems of coal ash are lacking
