LETTER: Liberal inconsistency and nuclear power

Regarding your Saturday editorial about nuclear energy (“Climate change and nuke phobia”):

As a kid in the 1950s, I recall reading articles in Popular Science magazine to the effect that nuclear power would soon be so cheap that there would be no need to meter it. Clearly, that was optimistic. But the fact remains that today nuclear fusion could provide unlimited amounts of pollution-free electricity if there were an appetite for developing it.

Seeing the unreasonable opposition to all types of nuclear power and the elimination of cheap natural gas, one can believe only that it’s not the power generation that’s the problem. Let’s hope that some day those on the political left will actually believe in their “existential planetary threat“ and allow cheap and clean nuclear power.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
