Nuclear is centralized, so it’s not great for energy security. It also relies on the organization running the reactor and securing waste to be run effectively, not cutting corners for the sake of efficiency/profit. It has all of the same problems with mining and manufacturing solar does, so it doesn’t win there either.

I've seen that person in several threads now, always shilling for nuclear. I'm not sure why, but it's always been at the expense of renewables
