Funny how all the nuclear chills forget the plethora of issues that come with that tech.

- who has access to nuclear power? - what happens to nuclear reactors during war? - where does the Uranium come from? - how long does it take to build a reactor? - how many long term solutions have been developed in the more than 60 years of this technology’s existence?

Not saying nuclear doesn’t have a place, but let’s not be blind to the long list of complications that come with it.

You suggest people forget that without considering that perhaps you don't know:

- We killed nuclear power in countries that can be trusted so that is not relevant.

- Nuclear accidents are not as harmful as people imagine.

- We have plenty of access to uranium resources in the west.

- the time to build a reactor is often in large parts regulatory burdens. France built out 10% of its electricity generation needs in a year, for a number of years. That is what is possible.

- Part of the reason there is no innovation in this sector is because regulation has strangled it. There are many innovative ideas in nuclear.

You mean western sources like the USA, that suddenly starts waving it's dick around when the wrong dipshit is elected? The USA that made a nuclear deal with Iran and then scrapped it for no fucking reason?

Is that a joke? You are conflating US meddling in international politics vs. protecting themselves and the world from Nuclear catastrophe by not fighting the likes of Iran, who openly admits wanting to nuke other countries, namely Israel (and by extension radiate Gaza, Jordan, Egypt, the nearby oceans, etc, as well) and the US. Iran who hid their nuclear enrichment facilities underground, which were known to enrich Uranium beyond what's needed for energy production.

		If I lived within range of the No. 1 rogue aggressor state (Israel), I'd also want some nuclear weapons.
