Personally, because I support victims of oppression, any words that disagree with me are hate speech. Because everything I do is in service of victims of injustice, my actions are just. There is no “cycle of violence”, only hidden power str

I don’t follow. If anything, the nuclear energy electric rate I quoted is too high. Regarding Diablo Canyon nuclear plant: “The plant produces electricity for about 6 cents per kWh, less than the average cost of 10.1 cents per kWh that PG&a
