Curious as to the reason a lawyer from Bugtussle would attend . Are you a member of some kind of elec advisory/supervising board ?
I have to be careful how I say this , but I question the motives/wisdom that will be applied in Cali........
In the Bible we are told, the first man Adam had everything
Had a horse 20 hands high, that would outrun Man of War
Had a fleet of 454 cowl induction Chevelles and 426 Hemis
Had free gasoline, high test, running out from the rocks
Had his own airplane and yacht too.
His lush pastures stretched clean out of sight.
They were filled with fat cattle, that milked themselves, and the cedars would not grow there.
But Adam was lonesome.
One morning Adam woke up, and his side hurt, and he was missing a rib, and he looked over and said
Wow, there really must be——a God!.
(Actual Christian Church sermons from my youth)
Once I asked my Mama, how do I get a pretty girl to like me
And she smiled and said, your father needs to help you with that problem, go ask him
So I ran out to the milk barn and asked him, and said Mama told me you’d know how I can get myself a pretty girl
He said it’s really simple Vanny
Wait until the pretty girl comes up to you.

My sweetie learned the Wonderful One Hoss Shay from a seventh grade teacher, who looked like me, in Mitchell South Dakota.
She has been my front desk eye candy paralegal office manager assistant since 2001.
And all I wanted was a sandwich at Cabela’s in Mitchell on my way to hunt pheasants with my buddies in Winner, when she was taking her three children out to eat.
I was as conservative as she was liberal.
As Christian as she was a stone cold atheist.
I think I read about the nuclear power debates or maybe she did, but of course we wanted to go.
It was at the Ethical Society
A Humanist congregation. We affirm human dignity, celebrate reason, and work together for social change. Sunday's Programs Big Community Energy; Amy Miller, MSW January 8, 2023, was her first, now Amy’s last Platform as interim director of the

If my father had been alive, he couldn’t have designed a better church than those secular humanist atheists had.
It was set up exactly, totally, in all respects as every Christian Church I’ve ever seen, only no Salman’s Jesus on the spot where they had a pagan symbol they substitute.
They seat 400 for the Sunday services.
And rent the whole place out to the sinners, so they can do more good service for the Master.
There were about a hundred people in this annex room. I will never see so many Prius cars and gray haired skinny legged men and women on bicycles.
By the last debate this 150 capacity room was overflowing.
The moderator was just a classically evil Hunger Games level emcee in the employ of Union Electric.
On his right sat a dozen unlucky employees of Union Electric.
Pitted against them was the angry mob, of do gooders out to save the planet.
And I got to be, the man in the middle.
The only one there with an open mind.
The only soul there with no agenda.
The do gooders had a kid fresh from school who was, a brilliant light and talented.
But the evil Hunger Games emcee had a PhD Nuclear Scientist from the Rolla School of Mines (UMR) with forty years experience, so it wasn’t much contest.
But part of the fun, was I got full reign to cross examining the PhD, and now and again the evil emcee would make him shut up.
I learned more in three sessions than I could imagine.
First, the waste problem is the do gooders won’t allow the waste to be entombed in Cheyenne mountain.
The utilities problem is sheer arrogance.
Just one Fukushima here and they’ll never build another nuclear plant until Christ comes, to call the faithful home.
They build those plants by big rivers in shithole, poverty stricken, ignorant places like Humansville thinking those people don’t matter.
And once built they’ll never get shut down because it’s the safest, cheapest, best way we know how to generate base line power.
New Coal is dead. Not because of the do gooders or the dad blasted gubbermint, but because of cheap natural gas.
New Hydro is dead. They’ve harnessed all the rivers big enough to harness. Besides it’s not reliable, the rivers run dry.
Geothermal won’t provide enough power.
Solar sucks for the Big Solar Farm. Bad idea.
Solar will make a great replacement for shingled roofs.
There’s only two choices for base line power, gas or nuclear.
A gas plant can be built in a few years for one billion.
The nukes cost twenty billion and take twenty years, and they have to fight all those do gooders.
Since those debates the cost of wind power has dropped below two cents a kilowatt for new build, and it makes a Jed Clampett out of the lucky farmer in the right wind zone.
And there will be boomtowns by the lithium mines!

Sing one, George!
Union Electric did not get approval for new reactors at Callaway.
Not yet.
The biggest reason, is Union Electric can throw up a three million dollar wind turbine that will charge up thousands of electric cars every night.

The typical capacity factor for wind farms in Iowa is about 1/3, so the average output is 1 MW. In other words, a single wind turbine in Iowa would power almost 3000 cars being driven as much as we drive ours. So to power 1 million such cars, you would need perhaps 350 3 MW wind turbines.

Most things folks tell you aren’t lies.
They know not what they say, you know?
