It's the fire in the #4 spent fuel pool myth, fear mongering off of the blue fin tuna contamination, Ft. Calhoun nuclear plant problems, and some remarks on NRC commissioners (industry made Chairman resign). He implies that the NRC (under Chairman Jaczko) was responsible for shutting down Yucca Mountain, when it was President Obama who ordered the DoE to withdraw the license application which was submitted to the NRC.
He also worries us about "aging" nuclear power plants. Of course, many components are replaced over time with more modern components so plants are actually safer. He apparently hasn't heard of core (as in the plant's foundation) sampling to determine whether or not the foundation is sound.
He ends with a ridiculous analogy about storing nuclear waste for a long time but we can't store solar energy overnight. Of course we can store solar energy overnight by charging a battery or pressurizing an air compressor.
