University and utility company say it could help university reduce carbon footprint
Purdue University officials have begun to explore plans to build nuclear reactors on campus to establish a clean and sustainable energy source that would help the campus move toward its goal of carbon neutrality.
The plan would include the development of Small Modular Reactors across Purdue’s campus that would offer long-term functionality for energy needs.
Purdue told The College Fix that the proposal fits into its goals of “reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
“On solar and wind, Purdue is investigating and undertaking multiple pathways to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” spokesperson Tim Doty told The Fix . He referenced a 2020 planning document that described the Big Ten university’s plans for renewable energy.
“As outlined in the 2020 Physical Facilities Sustainability Master Plan, the University is pursuing 500 kW of renewable energy and plans to cap total energy consumption at FY11 levels despite an increase in total campus gross square feet,” Doty stated.
He told The Fix “an SMR could serve as the baseload energy source and can be combined together with other renewables.”
He stated that since the research into the plan had only just been announced, he cannot answer any specific questions regarding the proposal. The Fix asked about potential costs and safety concerns. The feasibility of the plan is being jointly explored with Duke Energy. The Fix reached out via email to Angeline Protogere, a spokesperson for Duke Energy, and asked about the motives behind the partnership and any safety concerns about the nuclear reactors.“Supporting technology development is critical for our nation and could play an important role in helping us achieve our goals for attaining net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” Protogere told The Fix on May 9. “[P]articularly as we look at how advanced nuclear can complement renewable energy like wind […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
