I've spent 20 years working in the nuclear industry first in the United States Navy and now at Duke Energy's Harris Nuclear Plant where I am employed as a Radiation Protection Senior Scientist. Along the way, I've worked to protect the environment holding waste and drinking water licenses.
I know what it takes to do big things, and to do them in an environmentally and financially sustainable way.- No road in NC should have a toll.
- Climate change is a crisis that requires action at every level of government.
- It is far past time to legalize and regulate cannabis.
Sadly, the base wage I made in 1994 is the same that tipped employees get today, $2.13/hr.
That said, some things cannot be compromised away. Principled stands are necessary, but they have to be chosen carefully.
