    Nuclear has never been good, just an “oh shit, we left it too late”.

    Nuclear will be good when there is no wind, at night, with limited hydro and storage. The excitement with it has been from years of industry astroturfing. Seeing reddit go from opposed to, celebrating nuclear as thinking it was superior to all other renewables was a wild ride.

        False. Solar PV, hydro and wind are superior without the nuclear waste problem.

        Nuclear has a purpose in the mix, but more in a supporting role.

      Nuclear is easily the safest, cleanest and most efficient form of energy production. Until we get to nuclear fusion.
