…ertion that I really want to challenge. Judging from the video, unless Mr. Gunter has had a terribly rough life, he is old enough to remember when there were no nuclear power plants in the world at all. Now, before he is old enough to retire, there are more than 440 nuclear power plants producing about 50% more useful energy every day than Saudi Arabia.
