I agree, its in the middle. it's neither the boogeyman the left wants it to be, nor the savior of the blue collar laid off people the right wants it to be. its now far more automated and more of a high tech profession. still good to use when and where it can be.
im in favor of using nuclear in areas where natural disasters aren't a large risk, coming up with a solid plan to get the waste off of earth, and NOT building plants in hurricane, earthquake and tornado risky locations.
math comes out in favor of taking the burden off the power grid using it where we can to reduce what we can.
Agreed but the current existing plants are already in "not so favorable" locations(some not all)
Most of them cannot just be "taken down" tomorrow. It would take YEARS to decommission/recommission a plant under the current "safety guidelines".
Standards have changed over the last few decades too which is a good thing but shows when we first started building them we didn't know what we know now(obviously).
You simply cannot replace fossil fuels(80% of current energy supply) in any time table that matters.
Either way we as citizens will have no choice in such a matter. We don't have a choice in anything that matters. Every 4 years you get to pick whether you like blue or red more.
Our government/military doesn't ask for "our permission" they just do what they planned to do anyway.
Open air biological experiments on the public. Detonating nukes above population centers.
Main reason I don't give a fuck whose POTUS. They do the bidding of the military industrial complex and it's so obvious I think people who buy into such a circus are retarded.
"Fuck the war in Ukraine we shouldn't be there let's build up old bridges and roads!"----Sorry not in our plans
"Fuck the war in Gaza we shouldn't be there let the ME handle that!"----Sorry not in our plans
"Fuck Taiwan let China do it's thing we already have bases throughout Asia"-----Sorry not in our plans
"Hey I don't want you guys to test nuclear weapons above where I live!"----Sorry did it anyway
List goes on and on the only thing Americans should be happy about is the fact we will be the last to starve on this planet because we were the ones playing "God" at the highest levels.
