safety and efficiency will be improved by investment in nuclear. storage needs are dramatically reduced because we now have reactors that can run off of the waste of other reactors, “recycling” it and massively improving efficiency while reducing waste. yes, there are concerns with nuclear, but opposing nuclear is a losing battle. we need nuclear, and yes, the tech needs to develop further, but we won’t get that without investing in it today.
This. It amazes me how many people are anti nuclear but don’t understand what it is, how it’s waste can be recycled and how it is less harmful to the environment than wind and solar. Yes you read that correctly.
a lot of things like this gets memory holed as to not be so obvious about having luxury beliefs where they don’t mind how many people starve as long as it pushes their particular facet of a nuanced agenda imho.

It’s less surprising when you realize the founder of greenpeace was drummed out of the org over this same issue.
Do you have a source on that? I googled the founders of greenpeace, but I didn’t find any reference to your claim.
not really my jam, but even wikipedia mentions division over golden rice which is also pretty dumb.
here’s one from '08 politico.

Because this is not currently deployed at scale. We are way past “waiting for the next great technology”.

Conventional nuclear is deployed at scale, especially in the USA, China, and France.
Would it be deployable to most major city areas that have easy access to water?
