God Bless America Again
There is a threat of world war. Inflation is at a 40-year high. Racial tensions are high. Supply chain issues abound. Our power grid is fragile with expected blackouts and rolling blackouts this summer. Life in America, as we know it, is at risk. However, things are not hopeless. We must work together to get this country on the right path again. Steve Helling
United By A Common Goal
Most politicians give their verbal assent to the love of God and country. Radical leftist extremists do not have America's best interests at heart and must be stopped. Hopefully, we can all agree that radical leftists must not be allowed to destroy the America we love. My goal is to bring civility, sanity, and God back to politics. Steve Helling
Nuclear is dangerous and expensive
- Nuclear is not the answer. “For 50 years, nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic would want: bomb-explosive plutonium, lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidized. They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.” James Buchan. Wyomingites should fight to prevent an experimental “demonstration” nuclear reactor in Kemmerer with all of their might. The design uses liquid sodium as a coolant. Liquid sodium will catch fire and burn upon contact with the air or with water. This technology has a history filled with meltdowns. Sodium reactors are not used in the U.S. at this time, after previous failures. A sodium-cooled reactor has never been successfully operated in the U.S., according to Arnie Gunderson, a former nuclear industry executive. Meanwhile, the uranium needed for this “demonstration reactor” is a more highly enriched, bomb-grade uranium, most of which would have to be imported from Russia. It would come with an increased risk of nuclear proliferation. There are no storage facilities for nuclear waste and the plan is to store the waste onsite in Wyoming. When the Russians invaded Ukraine this year there was a threat of another Chernobyl disaster, as over 20,000 spent fuel rods were still being cooled onsite. The initial meltdown was in 1986. It would be difficult to de-commission a nuclear plant like this. The limited electricity it would produce would be expensive. Nuclear is heavily subsidized by the government. The plant would be vulnerable to cyber and other terrorist attacks. Wyoming was likely selected for this experimental reactor because the offer of jobs and money was thought to be too much for Wyomingites to turn down. The whole state should be concerned. Wyoming is too pristine and beautiful to sell out to nuclear. Let’s stand and fight this together. Steve Helling Wyoming Democratic candidate for U.S. House P.O.
