Namely, do you think it has a future in the wave of next gen clean energy sources? If you support it, do you think it will always be viable or that it should only be a temporary measure to get us off fossil fuels while our renewable infrastructure grows?

    I spent a lot of time discussing with French people in YouTube comments. And I need to say that a lot of beliefs of nuclear energy are wrong.

    • France got a very good re-processing of nuclear wastes
    • Nuclear energy is the energy with the smallest mortality rate compared to any other energy. The worst being coal with 2 deaths per removedt
    • Nuclear energy is still pretty clean on a pollution side.

    I don’t like this energy but trying to throw it away, without reducing the demand, sounds impossible to me.

    Something I really regret about nuclear energy though is the fact that you are completely dependent on other countries and industries.

    So another belief (on the side of pro-nuclear this time) is the fact that it makes you independent of your own electricity. Except that all your uranium is coming from another countries, this is not what I call “independent”.

    TL;DR: I don’t like centralization of the electricity production. But with the current demand, it’s the only viable choice.

      Yeah I agree with that, that should be solved somehow.
