    Bruh, mentioning how much concrete it takes for a new nuke plant and how long it will keep spewing co2 in the atmosphere for curing will get you crucified lol

    Like, we’re way past “crunch time” on climate change, we can’t afford to just do random shit without understanding all the consequences and just hope for the best.

    People just want to feel like we have all these perfect solutions on standby

      Yeah, I wasn’t even that critical in my statement. I was just explaining how switching to nuclear power would require us to combat the NIMBY attitude that killed it in the first place, and that political capital would probably be spent more wisely elsewhere.

      I’m fine with nuclear power, but as you said it’s not exactly the silver bullet a lot of people claim it to be.
