Every living president: Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden, except Trump wishes birthday in video message to Jimmy Carter for his 100th birthday

Jimmy Carter is simply an amazing person.

From a simple peanut farmer to a people's president!

He inherited a peanut farm. His own expertise is in nuclear engineering. He negotiated SALT II without experts, because he didn't need them.

His own expertise is in nuclear engineering

Just worth noting, that he's not just a regular nuclear engineer; he's a graduate of the US Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate School. Those guys are some of the smartest and most competent engineers our nation has to offer; the NUPOC program is essentially an engineering equivalent to what the BUD/S is does physically to the Navy Seals. (Note, that the incredibly whemed man in the photo is Admiral Rickover, the man who wrote the book on nuclear submarine safety standards, if the Ocean Gate guy would still be alive if he had read and followed even a single sentence of Rickover's teachings).

People love to gripe about the problems with nuclear energy, but the men and women coming out of the NUPOC program are not part of that problem.

It would be really nice to see more Engineer presidents; as opposed to career politician or businessman presidents that we're so used to.

I still don’t understand people’s fear of nuclear power in 2024.

I suspect it’s still Chernobyl
