    lol. I’ve said now 4 times this is not about nuclear vs fossil fuels. It’s hilarious the perseveration on this.

    Nuclear is dead. Accept it and move on to fixing the problems with renewables. There are 2 fantastic reasons to avoid nuclear.

      Fossil fuels will always be something to compare to as long as Coal generates electricity, the majority of cars run on petroleum, and housing is warmed by gas

      Nuclear is far far FAR from dead. In fact it’s picking up steam. And nuclear should be used alongside renewables. There’s no reason we can’t invest in nuclear and renewables at the same time. And keep in mind that the money invested in nuclear doesn’t take away funding from renewables.

        At least in the US the number of applications for nuclear plant construction has dropped 75%.
