>You will find legions of people who will tell you that climate change is an existential threat in humanity's long term and that we have to get emissions down ASAP, but will in almost the same breath want to rip down all nuclear power plants as soon as possible, at great expense and with certain spikes in emissions afterwards. The same people who tell you to always follow science and fact will balk, sputter,when you point out that nuclear power is the safest form of power per terawatthour and is dirt cheap in nations like South Korea, and is a COMPLETE solution to existing fossil fuel power plants-solar and wind need large, land-hungry, expensive power storage systems, and those systems can, in very bad conditions, run out of power. As supplementary power, they're great,as a full replacement for non-intermittent power,in a large industrialized society? Idiotic.

bro, it's the energy cartel dude.. they regulated the shit out of nuclear and will do it for fusion as well because the need to control energy and transportation

they own all the patents to battery tech and solar panels
