Like we are putting it right were we found it a lot of times.
I’m not from the US, this is a worldwide problem.
But nuclear energy is such a good thing for the world, that letting it fade away from just the plain ignorance of people is Infuriating.
I had the opportunity to be at a (research) nuclear reactor not long ago, and is really an amazing technology lol, truly something that makes the world a better place.
Countries just should pass laws making NIMBYsm harder, and making information campaigns about how much the tech has gotten safer.
Sure, it’s a fascinating technology. I believe that. I only argued against the argument that is was “clean”.
I don’t know whether laws can change anything. We have a democracy here. When people go on the street and threaten to vote for others in the next election, laws don’t matter.
Safety is also a quite relative… When area around the nuclear power plant suddenly becomes a warzone, like in Ukraine, then it’s not that safe anymore for that country and those around it.
It is clean lol, an necessary for the energy transition.
Remember that thermoelectric power plants store their waste in your lungs, and dams have killed way more people.
I have even heard people claim that wind has more deaths due to construction at height risks, but i have not seen believable sources to corroborate that.

I think, we need to agree to disagree on whether it is clean or not.
I wish, my country had invested in renewables and battery technology, because right now, that’s a money printing machine.
Fair enough, kinda what my country is investing into, but batteries are very polluting honestly.
