I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

    Most things have already been said, but here my personal list:

    • No way to get properly rid of waste jet
    • Quite unreliable (AFAIK one of the French ones only operated half the time it should in 2024)
    • Recourses for it are generally supplied by oppositional nations
    • If they blow up it’s bad, even if they don’t by themselves they might through third party influence
    • Generally positioned by politicians as an excuse to not build renewables, not replace fossil fuels
    • They are a entry point for building nukes, their existence making anti nuke treaties hard to control

    Most importantly: they don’t make financial sense. Renewables provide the cheapest energy and even the required energy storages can compete on the market. The French Court of Auditors published a statement after one of the more recent power plants were openened that basically just: stop building fucking nuclear power plants they cost way to much
