This is what I hate, we give politicians far more privileges then they deserve. They don't need private jets or any of that crap. They don't need to be making millions of dollars a year by giving friggin speeches either.

The bigger question is why no one cares they are polluting our air with aluminum.
I'd say probably the same reason a lot of people don't care that oil will eventually run out: because they are unlikely to see any massive changes to the planet caused by pollution within their lifetime. At least any changes that drastically change their way of life.

There is a viable alternative. Has been for 50 years. Liquid Fluoride thorium reactors.
Not only can it provide more energy than traditional nuclear, it is also far safer as all its safety mechanisms are passive and so don't need power to run their emergency shut down systems. It can be used to desalinate water so would end drought problems and it can be used to dispose of the current stockpiles of uranium and plutonium reactor waste. With the shutting down of many traditional light water reactors it's estimated that certain medical radioactive materials created by those reactors will run out soon. LFTR's produce those vital isotopes.
You could produce all the energy you'd ever need and Thorium is vastly more abundant than Uranium.
