    Nuclear power plants are top 2 in area footprint for energy generation. It’s clean, safe and a reliable baseload source. Personally I’d rather have nuclear power plant in the outskirts of my city than littering our nature with noisy bird killing windmills. Solar is cool, but won’t work as a baseload source.

    SMR won’t mature without investments, it’s the sort of short sightedness that has made us burn coal and gas for 50 unnecessary extra years.

      “IT’S NOT PERFECT SO WE SHOULD NEVER USE IT GRRRRRRR ATOMIC ENERGY BAD COAL GOOD”

      Is what I hear/read every time someone whines about how it’s not developed enough.

      It’s not developed enough because shits like that never let them get improved upon.

      Imagine how much better the world would be if people didn’t still deep throat fossil fuel propaganda from the 50s and 60s.
