Dear editor;
In the July 17 issue there a few items that caught my attention.
From “Illinois hospitals fear massive cuts under Trump Administration:” The hospitals in those communities are already on the brink, based on some of the cost increases of labor, drugs, and supply costs coming out of COVID. Why are there still “supply chain” problems and COVID 19 levels?
In “Revised Revelations’ Four Horsemen for modern times” I see all the items being claimed as new under president Donald Trump, were all there under the several previous administrations, except the conspiracy of silence kept them from being whispered about. Just as no one talks about the previous administrations causing the Ukraine – Russia War via the CIA overthrow of the legal Ukraine government just like a throw back to the 1960s and 1970s with governments in Central and South America being overthrown.
“Illinois solar at risk with federal incentives cut.” Nothing was mentioned regarding 10 corporations sprouting newly-designed, fueled, and operated nuclear power plants. Some of these are called micro-reactors because they are truck transportable and can be placed practically anyplace where the need is.
No major grid overhaul or build is needed. One already is just about cleared for production. These new generation reactors are designed for minimum operator interaction and must be designed for passive failure to a safe condition without leakage. There are several new fuel designs being promoted, coolant systems being promoted. It is not like the huge, massive old and existing nuclear power plants. These work whether the sun is shining or not and the wind is blowing or not.
