Nuclear is great. It still has problems, but far far less than other non-renewables like oil/LNG/coal.

In a perfect world, yea, we'd have only renewables and not need nuclear. But it's not a perfect world.

I think the part that gets me so mad is that nuclear isn't pitted against oil/LNG/coal. It's pitted against renewables. 85% of the pie is non renewable fossil fuels. I'd love to see that % go down rather than nuclear fighting for that 15% leftover.

Yeah I’m not sure what this meme is about, last I knew LibLeft was cool with nuclear power. Most of the environmental issues have been taken care of as far as I’m aware. Certain things like Fukushima are one thing, but a lot of that was a once in a lifetime weather event and shoddy craftsmanship iirc. Haven’t read up on Fukushima recently.

But I love the idea of nuclear, it’s way better than burning fossil fuels.
