    Waiting for the nuclear gang to drop in and tell us that all windmills and solar panels should be dismantled in favor of clean nuclear power plants and that Germany should never have abandoned the atom.

        Then they can tell us where the budget comes from then fail to explain why it’s worth five times the price of other renewables with grid storage.

        Germany shut down it’s reactors as they reached end of life. It isn’t economical to build new reactors.

        Nuclear has always been a military and strategic concern. Better than importing fossil fuels from potential bad actors during the cold war and you get some MAD weapons along with it.

        If you support the weapons proliferation, you support nuclear. You believe in the cold war stand off and think it’s valuable. If you don’t, want nuclear war, you have to count that as another negative.

        Arguing it’s an efficient way to produce electricity, even if it’s replacing fossil fuels, is disingenuous.

        Pick two out of powerful, efficient, safe. That’s nuclear power.
