Not in France!

Very true.

I would support reactors which aren’t designed to produce enriched uranium, don’t blowup when neglected, and don’t produce as much waste.

There has been some work on molten salt reactors recently, which look promising.

Nuclear would have really worked though, but green advocates just HAD to ruin it. (I'm talking about majority) Wind and solar will never truly take off or be mainstream because everyone rather do coal and gas, including the governments. Congrats people we're fucked!

Fun fact, all the pro-nuclear bullshit you hear is just regurgitated nuclear lobbying propaganda.

The only reason nuclear has such a following is because people (almost always men) think they think they're in the know. It's unironically very typical of how the alt-right pipeline starts. People think they're being given all this "truth" about nuclear and now they're knowledgeable about stuff that other people aren't aware of or that other people are believing the "mainstream" thought about. It also helps that nuclear followers see themselves as edgy. It's a perfect rabbit hole for these people who are easily influenced to fall down.

Not a good solution for most of the world, but great for where it can be done, same as geothermal.

Spicy take: we need to curb our addiction to power sources.

Energiewende is an absolute catastrophe

The main power utility in Idaho is looking into nuclear power generation. I'm pretty excited considering I'm in the utility industry.
