Boomers Memes

The ultimate clean energy paradox! Nuclear power's biggest obstacle isn't technology or safety—it's finding people who can operate the darn things. Baby boomers currently run most nuclear facilities, and they're shuffling toward retirement faster than uranium decays. Meanwhile, younger generations who grew up watching The Simpsons think nuclear = three-eyed fish. The punchline? We're planning to build more plants while the only people who know how to prevent them from going all Chernobyl are busy shopping for retirement condos in Florida. It's like planning to expand your vinyl record collection right as the last person who knows how to fix a record player is heading out the door.
