Nuclear is fantastic and would have been even more fantastic 30 years ago. But it's 2023 and renewables are getting better every day. There's just no real reason to not invest primarily in green energy sources, especially when the track record on nuclear waste management is abysmal. People will say "oh but the resources, oh but the storage, oh but the blah blah blah". We act like these things can't be done, but they are being done all over the place. While the US argues about whether solar is viable, China has almost produced more solar panels in a year than the US has ever produced. And they are planning to try and deliver to other countries with less productive capacity as well.

I love the nuclear waste storage argument. Wouldn't it be grand if we could just stick it in the atmosphere like we do with coal and oil? Smh...

8 day old account, second post is to be an asshole to me for no reason. Classy. You’re either a bot or another shitty lemming. You’ll fit right in here with all the other insufferable shitheads in this forum.
