There is nothing wrong with nuclear energy. The problem is we haven’t invested in making smaller, cheaper reactors. The cost runaway of nuclear reactors and nuclear waste disposal are the biggest problems with it. We need to be able to spin up a reactor for the cost of a solar field, but we still are using 1960s technology in our current reactors with little to no advancement.
Solar doesn’t work during the evening hours without battery storage that we don’t have. Wind depends on…well…the wind. Tidal is consistently OK, but situational in location. Same for geothermal.
Nuclear has the advantage of being a consistent, steady output all the time and can be put pretty much everywhere. Given the choice between Natural Gas fired plants to make up deficits and Nuclear, I’ll choose Nukes every time.



I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.
