compared to renewables, nuclear is hugely more expensive &, while other countries invest in meaningful, proven & safe storage solutions, we partner with the govt of an unstable lunatic to fast-track an unproven tech & “streamline” safety regulations
But that’s not the main issue. We have already breached 7 of the 9 planetary boundaries, beyond which life as we know it becomes unsustainable. This dash for power for ever more growth has a far, far greater cost
