        Thanks for that thought, I was confused who is arguing so much for nuclear that is not solving anything and is too expensive.

        Shilling makes a lot of sense, but never came to me.

        And downvotes without explanation, even here. I guess normal people are also under influence.

        Is nuclear a bad option? Only downsides I’ve heard are basically optics problems. Barring facilities that catastrophically failed on top of horrid safety policy negligence, they seem perfectly suited for baseline power production.

          Cost. The reality is nuclear is not just more expensive than every other option, it’s a lot more. I remember seeing something like ten times the cost of solar, per whatever unit of energy
