Trump basically made her the motherfucker in charge (MFIC) of the entire intelligence community
Last "thirst" post I'll make about Tulsi, but to me, she has the traits of Hedy Lamaar, Lucille Ball and Carole Landis. That is sexy as hell. I hope she rules with an iron fist. She's like the villain in charge behind the curtains.
 
How do we have none by our existing nuke plants?
Most were built before we started building nuclear reactors (pre-WWII). Also, these smelters are all located on major navegable rivers since they need barge access for bauxite and petroleum coke, whereas nuclear power plants can be located near smaller rivers or by lakes since all they need is a water source.

On top of that, only Alcoa runs their own power plants, and those obviously aren't nuclear since that's a regulatory can of worms they probably don't want to get into. Century (to my knowledge) buys from the market, and the mix of energy utilities like Constellation Energy or Santee Cooper would provide can include renewables, gas/coal, and nuclear at a special bulk rate, since Santee Cooper sources energy from several nuclear power plants upstate in South Carolina.

Basically even if you built one of these smelters next to a nuclear power plant, the benefits wouldn't really matter unless you either own the plant and are able to run your smelter cheaper than the massive upkeep a traditional nuclear fission plant would require, or are able to work out an energy deal that's cheaper than just buying from nearby hydrocarbon plants. Distance is largely irrelevant compared to the cost of the energy. This is why the most cost-effective aluminum smelters are near hydropower or geothermal energy sources, since those cost next-to-nothing to run.

That said, those new small-scale nuclear reactors that have recently gotten approval could change things. Outside of aluminum, steel producers like Nucor have been interested in building their own small-scale reactors to power their electric arc furnaces, giving them both energy independence and the right to say they're making "green" steel. We could do something similar for aluminum smelting, because the biggest problem with nuclear is the regulatory and cost nightmare involved with building an old-school nuclear power plant.
 
I honestly do not know how Mitch keeps getting re-elected. I'm born and raised in KY and I do not know *anybody* that likes him or votes for him.
niggers of all colors in lexington-louisville and the welfare queens in the shitholes like hazard county, because he keeps the gibs flowing while still having an r next to his name, and also it's who granddaddy voted for.
 
Note that the subreddit logo is the trans flag:

I hate the trans pride flag having to ruin wholesome things why can't you fuck up white supremacist symbols instead. I would rather see tranny siege fags or trans nazis since it would just make sense.
Both parties are bad, its just that the Republicans clean house now and then instead of becoming a hoarder of total trash politicians.
To the Victor goes the spoils and weather people like it or not they won they got in power it's their turn to rule now. Maybe in 4 years the dems can learn their lesson.
 
In a sense that girl was just further distancing herself from the consequences of her actions. Somehow it became your fault that you didn't resort to violence. It's just disgusting behavior.
Nah nigga u just a pussy azz bitch. Can’t beat my pussy up like Tyrone and can’t beat me back into my place like him either lil yt boi

Its not the victor that did this, Republicans got obliterated because of Bush in 2006 and 2008 which cleaned the roster out heavily. The voterbase is also quite ready and willing to crucify bad apples like Eric Cantor back in the day, its quite interesting that McConnell has survived so many rounds of purging at this point. Its how the parties handle losses is what matters and the Democrats are just digging a deeper hole instead of reflecting on what they need to do when it comes to reforming the party and stances it has.
 
Also I am still getting reacts from posts MONTHS or even YEARS ago. KF is different from most social media where you only have a few hour window to get your like dopamine fix before it gets buried by algorithms, good KF posts are good forever. I am genuinely suprised how far back people go when catching up in threads.

Also the best react grinding strat to have your post be on the first page of a community post.

I hate this I feel like people are weird for doing this

......which is it? Either people can afford things or they can't,
It's just ridiculous to assume this drop in costs can be realized within a few weeks.
