How many people know he established the EPA?

[carlmarston]

You did not play Oppenheimer music over this 😂

[MrYour]

I had NO idea Nixon was a supporter of nuclear energy.

[TruhliAhmo]

What a great President.., one of the greatest.

[drillsergeant]

He was right. Nuclear is clean if the power companies manage it correctly.

While doing my graduate 👨‍🎓 coursework, I wrote a paper on the EPA. During my research, I gleaned that President Nixon had established the EPA; this man has left us a remarkable legacy.

The Marxist Americans will never ever show the beauty of this President. Thank you President Nixon for your service to our country as a USNA graduate and fighting in WWII.

Nixon was the man. Been listening to his biography by John Farrell and I realize dude is so relatable

[Aaron-mue]

Anyone remember this ?
NIXON ! NIXON ! He's our man !
MCGOVERN belongs in a garbage can !
I was only a kid then but won't forget it .
He never gets the credit he deserved ! 🇺🇲

One of the best Presidents of the 20th century. Definitely top 5.

[ronaldmcdonald]

22 countries will do 3 X nuke deployments

[sammyvh]

I agree and the technology and safety controls are much better now

I drove 26 miles out of Raleigh, NC, to work underground two miles from a newly Shearn Harris Nuclear Power Plant. Worked with all departments and the air was so clean without odors in the air. In. Two yrs, the animal population doubled. Try living around oil refineries! The air is dirty, smells badly, and continually plants booming all around. Nuclear runs smoothly.

A nonstarter. Nobody has figured out what to do with the waste, including decommissioned old reactors.

[albertovidalon]

Nixon did terrible things but also great things.
From his best for America is the EPA.
Republicans to lead have to put action instead reaction.

[craftpaint]

Ever seen a nuclear power plant properly decommissioned and cleaned up? Rebuilt or dismantled?

They can be made very well, but there's always a "but . . . "

[simkiankiong]

The best and knowledgeable president america ever known since...sadly derailed by watergate scandal which in todays's standard is miniscule(compared to what donald trump have said and a great statesman in my view...

[walterkersting]

When was the last time you heard a president encourage the populous to not be afraid?

[Rick-npvz]

The number of issues this guy was interested in is only rivaled by the number of enemies that approaching those issues created for him!

Ok, so we haven't had any problem with nuclear subs right? The seawater cools the rods. So we build nuclear power plants close to the coasts. If anything even remotely goes bad, we flood the rods. Problem solved.
If I'm wrong, please explain why. I've been learning tons about nuclear energy lately and I crave more information.
