US regulators have issued a warning to a nuclear project critical to Donald Trump’s efforts to revive the industry, after a contractor fell into a reactor cavity and a bundle of fuel rods nearly tipped over during refueling.

Solar is pretty good, hydro has serious ecological ramifications though. We really need to un-dam a bunch of rivers and restore salmon habitat.
That sadly is true, especially because I’m from a region that was dependent on salmon. They are trying to re establish them, though, and they made some progress. The water quality went up in the last decades and more and more possibilities for them to “climb” have been established. There have been several adult salmons in the last few years, but it’s not like the population grew back. We do have a growing beaver population though, which is another success. So yes, hydro has its downsides, but it’s not like you could build a nuclear power plant into a natural river delta either.
