A fan of Nuclear power, Musk' s X, Grimes has stepped up to the energy plate for proactive activism regarding Pro Nuclear in California.
Good, that's the way....it's great to see the younger generation making their voices heard engaging into green energy solutions with creative action.

"Grimes wants you to know that she appreciates nuclear power.
The pop star, who recently publicly separated from Tesla CEO Elon Musk (and dropped a fitting breakup song), appeared on the Twitter account of nuclear power influencer Isabelle Boemeke on Monday to talk about the closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California. ......
"A November 2021 study by Stanford and MIT scientists concluded that delaying Diablo Canyon’s closure by 10 years could save California $21 billion, 90,000 acres of land, and reduce carbon emissions by 10 percent.
The study also said that building a desalination plant near Diablo Canyon could help produce fresh water for the entire state—a perennial problem in California.
“For all the reasons above, closing the plant now is a terrible idea, it will most likely increase GHG emissions and our reliance on fossil fuels,” Boemeke said. “Former secretaries of energy Steven Chu and Ernest Moniz have written an op-ed in the LA times and even current secretary of energy Jennifer Granholm has chimed in saying we should keep it open.
”Boemeke said she loved working with Grimes on the video. “Grimes is pretty great to work with, she is very funny and her brain is extremely unique,” she said.
“She is not afraid of being bold, weird and talking about things that might seem controversial.
She is very much on board with nuclear power and especially likes advanced nuclear, since these reactors are even safer than older ones.”According to Boemeke, the taboos against nuclear power seem to be breaking down.
“China has announced they will build 150 reactors in the next 15 years, France has promised to go big on nuclear again and a recent poll in the U.S. shows a sharp increase in support for nuclear power in the last year,” she said. “I am choosing to believe Isodope has had an impact on it.”
