Ah yes, those yesterday Republicans advocating for stronger labor laws, stricter gun control, and securing abortion as a right for Americans. Man, those Republicans were so cool back in the day.

I wish my "Christian" brothers and sister picked up a bloody Bible and actually read it. They'd realize that we are called to take care of the earth, love one another, and care for one another. It's infuriating. Also, the blantent disregard for historical context and etymology is cause enough for apoplexy.

Sometimes, I miss Bushisms in comparison to Trumpisms.

That is inaccurate. You can look up LCOE for all of these and Nuclear is right up there with Gas. Also, you can't have 10% of your generation be nuclear with solar and wind making up the majority. You literally cannot produce that much electricity. Nuclear, being arguably the most efficient source of energy and the largest capacity, it makes sense for nuclear to be in place of our coal and gas plants with solar and wind supplements. But hey, that's just what I studied for a living.

Nailing those melee counters is crucial!

I guess I should have clarified. When you do a cost analysis of per MW generation over the lifetime of the plant, it gets significantly cheaper. Cheaper than solar, or wind. The only issue is the large upfront cost of billions of dollars, like I previously stated. The cost of solar and wind is cheaper up front, but on a large generation scale, is lacking. Nuclear is the only solution right now to the climate. There is no other large scale generation that can sustain demand as clean as nuclear.

I never got around to buying this on Steam. Seems fitting to be on the Switch though.

Aww, I remember when this game first launched in the Wii.

I'm finally playing Metroid:Dread and loving it! I'm also still trucking away at hundoing Pokémon Legends and TotK.

Yup! Turns out utilities don't want to spend a multi billion dollar upfront cost, even though they would reap huge rewards, as nuclear, over the whole lifetime of the plant, is very cost-effective. But hey, let's continue to subsidize gas instead!

Those were Takata. This is a separate manufacturer.
