Yes, texans say "new - kyew - ler" do you need me to link your homie George Bush? I will! I WILL DO IT!

Look at the word: nu (noo or nyoo) cle (klee) ar (er or schwa r) is the standard pronunciation. Of the billions of people who speak english as a first or second language, 99% say nuclear correctly. A few, including our former president, use the much derided alternate pronunciation.
