Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

The Trump admin has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules.
The changes were made to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs. "They're taking a wrecking ball to the system of nuclear safety and security regulation".

Don't believe the hype - nuclear power is 'fizzling out'.
Nuclear accounted for just 9% of global electricity generation last year, down from 17.5% in 1996.
Meanwhile renewables are exploding, now 32% and rising fast.
Ontario is the outlier.
