> Yeah, because solar and wind are both expensive and unreliable, and fossil fuels are both expensive and destructive.

Compared to nuclear energy wind and solar are cheap. For reliability we need energy storage

> This is a non-argument, just like it was last year.

That doesn’t make any sense. It’s a problem and it isn’t solved. Or let me use your logic: it’s a problem like it was last year.

> 2026, new argument dropped. Almost as much of a non-argument as the one above.

Yeah sure, safety isn’t an argument.

>There's uranium everywhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_uranium_r... and it's not much more of a search away to find out who already refines it.

Another safety issue plus environmental damage for mining.

> The membership fee isn't giving up your money, the membership fee is participating in improving the country.

A membership fee is literally giving up money. PV put power in the hand of people. That is participation and independence.

> It's this backwards ethos that has most European countries in the toilet.

Nuclear energy is backwards. Why invest in something that is dangerous, slow, expensive and creates centralized energy sources?
