359. Why Does The Left Reject Nuclear Power

Show Notes

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 359 of the In The Tank Podcast. The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. Like the ITT crew discussed in previous episodes, it has nothing to do with inflation and everything to do with transitioning our country to unreliable energy. They ask the question “Why does the left reject Nuclear power?” Also, the World Economic Forum, the biggest advocates of The Great Reset, seem to be scared of us. The ITT crew speculates as to why that is.
